EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating portrait captures the esteemed Benjamin Septimus Brigg, the very first Mayor of Kighley in 1882. Painted by Frederick Stead in 1923, this oil on canvas masterpiece measures an impressive 90x74.5 cm and is currently housed at the Bradford Art Galleries and Museums in West Yorkshire, UK. In this half-length portrait, Brigg exudes authority and dignity as he sits regally in his ornate robes. The artist skillfully portrays every intricate detail, from the chain around his neck to the luxurious fur collar that adds a touch of opulence to his attire. Brigg's stern yet composed expression hints at his strong leadership qualities and unwavering commitment to public service. As one gazes upon this painting, it becomes evident that he was a man of great importance within the community. Stead's meticulous brushwork brings out both Brigg's physical features and inner character with remarkable precision. This timeless artwork not only serves as a historical record but also pays homage to an influential figure who played a significant role in shaping Kighley's early development. As we admire this stunning piece from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are transported back to a bygone era when men like Benjamin Septimus Brigg dedicated their lives to serving their communities with honor and distinction.
