National Exhibition in Regent-street, [London] - No. 122 - "Scene from Moore's Epicurean'" - painted by O. R. Campbell, 1850. Mr. O. R. Campbell seems to divide his time pleasantly and profitably between poetic compositions (such as the one now before us) and the solid pudding of portraiture, for which he seems to have many qualities likely to lead to excellence in the most lucrative branch of his art'. "The Epicurean" was a novel by Thomas Moore, published in 1827. It relates the story of Alciphron, leader of the Epicurean sect in Athens in the 3rd century AD. From "Illustrated London News", 1850

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts a scene from Thomas Moore's novel "The Epicurean," published in 1827. The image, exhibited at the National Exhibition in Regent-street, London, in 1850, was painted by the skilled artist O.R. Campbell. Campbell, known for his poetic compositions as well as his proficiency in portraiture, masterfully brings to life a moment from Moore's work. In the scene, a man and a woman, both deeply engrossed in their reading, sit in an ancient Greek setting. The man, likely Alciphron, the leader of the Epicurean sect in Athens during the 3rd century AD, leans back in his chair with an urn nearby, while the woman, her gaze fixed on her book, sits attentively at a table. The print, published in the Illustrated London News in 1850, showcases the charm and elegance of the Victorian era. The use of black and white enhances the timeless quality of the scene, transporting the viewer to ancient Greece and inviting them to ponder the pleasures of reading and the simple joys of life. O.R. Campbell's talent for capturing the essence of his subjects and his ability to evoke a sense of tranquility and contemplation make this print a true masterpiece. The scene from Moore's "The Epicurean" serves as a reminder of the enduring power of literature and the beauty of the human spirit.
