EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the essence of Benjamin Franklin, one of America's most influential figures. Painted by Joseph Siffred Duplessis in approximately 1779, this oil on canvas print showcases Franklin's remarkable presence and intellect. Franklin, born in 1706 and passing away in 1790, was not only a statesman but also a scientist, inventor, and writer. His contributions to American history are immeasurable, from his role as one of the Founding Fathers to his experiments with electricity that led to groundbreaking discoveries. In this half-length figure painting, Franklin is depicted sitting comfortably with an air of wisdom about him. The fur collar draped around his shoulders adds a touch of elegance to the composition while emphasizing his refined taste. The tondo format further enhances the focus on Franklin himself. Housed at the North Carolina Museum of Art in Raleigh, USA, this artwork serves as a testament to Franklin's enduring legacy. Donated by the North Carolina Citizens Association as a gift to commemorate his impact on society, it stands as a reminder of his invaluable contributions. Duplessis masterfully captures both the physical likeness and intellectual depth of Benjamin Franklin through meticulous brushstrokes and attention to detail. This print serves as an homage to an extraordinary man who played an instrumental role in shaping America's past while leaving behind an indelible mark for future generations.
