EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the essence of John Lothrop Motley, a prominent American author and diplomat in the 19th century. Painted by Thomas Phillips around 1835, this oil on canvas print showcases Motley's distinguished features and charismatic presence. Motley was not only an accomplished writer but also a skilled diplomat who served as a commissary to Britain. His educational background and intellect made him an influential figure in both academic and diplomatic circles. This painting reflects his deep connection to education, with its backdrop reminiscent of a scholarly institution. The artist skillfully employs color and light to bring out Motley's personality, emphasizing his intelligence and sophistication. The vibrant hues add depth to his character while highlighting his British heritage. Preserved at the National Portrait Gallery within the Smithsonian Institution, this artwork stands as a testament to Motley's significant contributions during that era. It serves as a reminder of his role in bridging cultural gaps between America and Britain through diplomacy and literature. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are transported back in time to witness the brilliance of John Lothrop Motley—a man whose words shaped history while leaving an indelible mark on both nations he called home: the United States of America and Great Britain.
