EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable portrait of Benjamin Franklin, an influential figure in American history. Born in 1706 and passing away in 1790, Franklin was not only an inventor but also a statesman who played a crucial role in shaping the United States. The portrait itself is based on one created by Nicholas Cochin the younger in 1777. Franklin's contributions to science were groundbreaking. He conducted experiments that proved the distinction between positive and negative charges, ultimately revealing that lightning is composed of electricity. To protect buildings from this powerful force of nature, he invented the lightning conductor. His scientific curiosity extended beyond electricity as well. Franklin discovered the Gulf Stream in the Atlantic Ocean and its unusually high temperature, suggesting that ships could use thermometers to navigate it effectively. In addition to his scientific achievements, Franklin delved into various other fields. He explored how different colors absorb solar heat and even invented bifocal spectacle lenses for enhanced vision. Beyond his scientific endeavors, Benjamin Franklin was deeply involved in politics and became one of the signatories of the American Declaration of Independence in 1776 – just a year before this exquisite portrait was made. This print serves as a testament to Benjamin Franklin's multifaceted genius as an inventor, scientist, statesman, and pioneer during America's formative years in the 18th century.
