EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait captures the essence of John C. Calhoun, a prominent American politician and statesman in the 19th century. Created by Savinien Edme Dubourjal in 1846, this stunning print showcases Calhoun's commanding presence and political prowess. Dubourjal skillfully used gum arabic on bristol board to bring out the intricate details of Calhoun's features. The use of lead white gouache adds depth and texture to the painting, highlighting his distinguished appearance. Calhoun was known for his influential role in shaping American politics during a crucial period in history. As a senator and politician, he played an instrumental part in debates surrounding slavery, states' rights, and national unity. In this portrait, Dubourjal expertly captures Calhoun's determination and intellect through his piercing gaze and confident posture. The artist successfully conveys both the power that Calhoun held as a political figure as well as his dedication to serving his country. Now housed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), this piece is not only a testament to Dubourjal's artistic talent but also serves as a reminder of America's rich political heritage. It offers viewers an opportunity to reflect on the significant contributions made by individuals like John C. Calhoun who helped shape the United States into what it is today.
