EDITORS COMMENTS
In this portrait, we are transported back in time to witness a moment of intellectual pursuit and refinement. The subject of the painting is Assheton Curzon, the late Viscount Curzon, accompanied by his esteemed tutor Dr Mather. Painted by Arthur Devis, a renowned English artist from the 18th century, this print captures the essence of aristocratic education and sophistication. Viscount Curzon sits confidently in an elegant chair, his posture exuding both poise and intellect. Dressed impeccably in a bookish attire complete with a distinguished wig, he embodies the epitome of scholarly pursuits during this era. His gaze is fixed upon Dr Mather who stands beside him holding an open book – perhaps engaged in an enlightening discussion or imparting valuable knowledge. The composition is meticulously executed with attention to detail evident in every brushstroke. From the intricate patterns on Viscount Curzon's clothing to the subtle play of light and shadow that adds depth to their figures, Devis masterfully brings these characters to life. This print allows us to appreciate not only the artistic skill involved but also offers a glimpse into an era where learning was highly valued among nobility. It serves as a reminder of how education has always been regarded as a symbol of status and refinement throughout history. Bridgeman Images presents us with yet another remarkable piece from their Fine Art Finder collection - one that invites us to explore our past through artistry and contemplation.
