EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the enigmatic figure of Opie, a renowned historical and portrait painter from Cornwall. Created in 1830 by an unknown artist, this image captures Opie's direct gaze as he confidently looks at the camera. Opie's remarkable talent earned him a place in the court of King George III, where he was commissioned to paint numerous notable men and women, including Mary Delany. Opie's contribution to British art during the 18th and 19th centuries cannot be overstated. His skillful portrayal of subjects with intricate details is evident in his choice of clothing for this particular portrait. The coat with its elegant collar exudes sophistication, reflecting both Opie's own refined taste and the fashion trends of his time. The engraving featured here is part of "Biographical Illustrations" by Alfred Howard, a literary work published by Thomas Tegg, R. Griffin & Co. , J. Cumming in London, Glasgow, and Dublin in 1830. This book serves as a testament to Opie's enduring legacy as one of Britain's most celebrated artists. As we admire this striking image captured over two centuries ago, we are reminded not only of John Opie’s artistic prowess but also his significant role within British society during that era.
