EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Mr Addison, engraved by George Vertue" transports viewers back to the early 18th century. Created in 1721, this engraving showcases the remarkable talent of both Godfrey Kneller and George Vertue. The subject of the portrait is none other than Mr Addison himself, a prominent figure known for his contributions as an essayist, statesman, poet, and author. Dressed in elegant attire complete with a wig that was fashionable during that era, Mr Addison exudes an air of sophistication and intellect. His piercing gaze suggests a man deep in thought and contemplation. The attention to detail in this engraving is truly commendable; every line etched on paper seems to bring Mr Addison's character to life. This particular print is based on a portrait from 1716, highlighting the enduring legacy of Mr Addison even after his passing in 1719. Preserved by the City of Westminster Archive Centre in London, UK. , it serves as a testament to his significant impact on English literature and politics. As we admire this piece from Fine Art Finder's collection courtesy of Bridgeman Images, we are reminded not only of Mr Addison's accomplishments but also of the power art holds in immortalizing great individuals throughout history.
