1727 1815 Academician Bartolozzi Engraver Francis
EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Francis Bartolozzi, English Engraver and Royal Academician, in Deep Thought, 1815" This evocative portrait captures the intense concentration of Francis Bartolozzi (1727-1815), an English engraver and esteemed member of the Royal Academy. The image, created around 1815, depicts Bartolozzi in the later stages of his illustrious career, with a furrowed brow and a quill pen poised above a sheet of paper. Born in Italy in 1727, Bartolozzi immigrated to England in 1752 and quickly established himself as a leading figure in the world of British art. He was elected a Royal Academician in 1764, an honor bestowed upon him for his exceptional skill and contributions to the field of engraving. The historical significance of Bartolozzi's work lies in his innovative techniques and his ability to bring the works of other artists to a wider audience through his meticulous engravings. He collaborated with many notable artists of the time, including Joshua Reynolds, Thomas Gainsborough, and Thomas Rowlandson, to name but a few. In this portrait, Bartolozzi is shown in a quiet, contemplative moment, perhaps reflecting on his past achievements or pondering the challenges of his current projects. The use of pen and paper underscores his role as a writer and scholar, as well as an artist. The image invites us to consider the depth of his artistic mind and the passion that drove him to create some of the most exquisite engravings of the 18th and 19th centuries. This portrait, with its rich historical context and intriguing subject matter, offers a glimpse into the life of a true master of the art world. It serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of Francis Bartolozzi and his invaluable contributions to the annals of English art history.
