EDITORS COMMENTS

Painted by Thomas Phillips in 1813, this oil on canvas masterpiece measures 76.5x63.9 cm and is housed in the esteemed National Portrait Gallery in London. In this striking depiction, Lord Byron exudes an air of mystery and allure as he dons the elaborate costume of a Balkan Arnaout. His piercing gaze and perfectly groomed mustache add to his charismatic presence, while his turban completes the exotic ensemble. As one of the most celebrated poets and leading figures of Romanticism, Lord Byron's fascination with Eastern cultures is evident through this orientalist portrayal.
