Marc Isambard Brunel, French engineer
Marc Isambard Brunel (1769-1849), French engineer. In 1793 Brunel fled France as a royalist refugee from the French Revolution. In 1799 he settled in England. He was the engineer for the first Thames Tunnel (upper left, constructed 1825 to 1843), and was knighted in 1841. On the table are some of his inventions and achievements, such as a miners safety lamp, a cotton winding machine, and a model of a lighthouse. His son was the railway and ship engineer, Isambard Kingdom Brunel. This 1846 mezzotint engraving by English artist J. Carter is after an original painting by English artist Samuel Drummond (1766-1844)

In this portrait, we see Brunel seated at his desk, surrounded by his numerous inventions and achievements. His piercing gaze meets the camera with confidence and determination. Having fled France during the tumultuous years of the French Revolution, Brunel found solace in England where he would leave an indelible mark on engineering history. Notably, he served as the mastermind behind the construction of the first Thames Tunnel, a monumental feat that spanned from 1825 to 1843. As we explore this image further, our eyes are drawn to some of Brunel's notable creations showcased on his table. A miners safety lamp stands proudly alongside a cotton winding machine while a meticulously crafted model lighthouse adds an air of elegance to this scene. It is impossible not to mention that Marc Isambard Brunel was also father to another engineering genius - Isambard Kingdom Brunel - who would follow in his footsteps and revolutionize railway and ship design. Through this exquisite artwork by J. Carter after Samuel Drummond's original painting, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the brilliance and ingenuity that defined Marc Isambard Brunel's career.
