EDITORS COMMENTS
"This portrait captures the enigmatic presence of Samuel Rogers (1763-1855), an English poet and banker, as depicted by the renowned French artist and diplomat, Baron Vivant Denon (1747-1825). Created in 1816, this lithograph in black on cream laid paper showcases Denon's masterful use of the lithotint technique. The portrait presents Rogers in a formal setting, with a serious yet engaging expression, directly meeting the viewer's gaze. His bald head and piercing eyes convey a sense of wisdom and authority, fitting for both his poetic and financial pursuits. Rogers was a prominent figure in English literary and financial circles, known for his poetry and his position as a partner in the banking firm, Barings Brothers. Denon, a French diplomat and art connoisseur, had a significant impact on European art and culture during his tenure as the first director of the Louvre Museum. The two men likely met during Denon's time in England, where he served as the French ambassador from 1812 to 1814. This portrait, with its striking contrast between the sitter's intense gaze and the subtle textures of the lithograph, invites viewers to ponder the complexities of Rogers' dual roles as a poet and a banker, as well as the intriguing encounter between the English poet and the French artist." Location: Art Institute of Chicago, USA.
