EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait print showcases the renowned figure of Francis Bacon, Viscount of St Albans. Created by the talented artist Jacobus Houbraken in 1742, this engraving is a remarkable illustration from the esteemed publication "Heads of Illustrious Persons of Great Britain" published by Knapton in London. Francis Bacon, a prominent scientist, statesman, and jurist of the 16th and 17th centuries, is depicted with utmost elegance and authority. His half-length pose exudes an air of wisdom and intellect that perfectly captures his multifaceted persona. Dressed in a distinguished hat and framed within an oval frame, Bacon's portrayal reflects his influential status as Lord Chancellor during the Elizabethan era. The intricate details captured by Houbraken bring forth not only Bacon's physical appearance but also his authorship and significant contributions to philosophy as well as his role as Attorney General. This portrait serves as a testament to Bacon's enduring legacy. Displayed within this private collection belonging to The Stapleton Collection, this Dutch masterpiece is now available for all art enthusiasts to appreciate its historical significance. As it falls under public domain due to its age, it continues to inspire viewers with its depiction of one of history's most notable figures.
