EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the esteemed artist and Royal Academician, Frederick Richard Pickersgill. Captured in 1882 by Lock & Whitfield, this portrait immortalizes Pickersgill's distinguished presence as a painter of historical subjects, contemporary life, literature, and biblical scenes. Born in 1820 and passing away in 1900, Pickersgill's artistic talent earned him recognition within the art world. In 1850, he was honored with the title of Royal Academician for his exceptional contributions to the field. The year of his appointment also marked the creation of what is widely regarded as his masterpiece – "Samson Betrayed". The photograph itself exudes an air of Victorian elegance and sophistication. With a bald head framed by a magnificent beard that adds depth to his countenance, Pickersgill emanates wisdom and experience through every line on his face. Lock & Whitfield expertly captured not only Pickersgill's physical appearance but also his artistic essence. This image serves as a testament to both the man himself and the era he lived in – an era defined by great advancements in science, literature, artistry, law, medicine, among others. As we gaze upon this monochrome portrait today courtesy of The Print Collector collection from Heritage Images' archives , we are transported back to a time when men like Frederick Richard Pickersgill were shaping British culture with their creative prowess and dedication to their craft.
