EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Joseph Black, 1787" transports us back to the vibrant social life of 18th century Scotland. Created by John Kay, a renowned Scottish artist and caricaturist, this portrait captures the essence of Joseph Black (1728-92), a prominent chemist and physician. Black's intellectual prowess is evident as he sits in a dignified manner, his spectacles perched on his nose and an elaborate wig adorning his head. The attention to detail in this engraving showcases the Georgian fashion of the time while also emphasizing Black's scholarly pursuits. As one of the key figures during the Scottish Enlightenment, Black made significant contributions to chemistry and medicine. His groundbreaking work on latent heat and carbon dioxide laid the foundation for modern thermodynamics. Through this print, we are reminded of his immense impact on scientific knowledge. The composition skillfully combines elements of portraiture with subtle hints at Black's profession. It serves as both a testament to his achievements and an insight into societal norms during that era. Preserved within a private collection but made accessible through Fine Art Finder, this engraving allows us to appreciate not only John Kay's artistic talent but also Joseph Black's lasting legacy in advancing scientific understanding.
