EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait print showcases the esteemed Flemish engraver and painter, Paulus Pontius. Born in 1603 and passing away in 1658, Pontius left an indelible mark on the art world with his remarkable talent. The image captures his dignified presence, revealing a man of great artistic prowess. Created by Francis Engleheart, a renowned artist from the Georgian era, this steel engraving beautifully replicates a portrait originally painted by Anthony van Dyck. Engleheart's attention to detail is evident as he expertly translates every brushstroke into intricate lines etched onto metal. The original painting was featured in Edward Walmsley's "Physiognomical Portraits" a collection that celebrated one hundred distinguished characters of its time. This particular print was included in John Major's publication of Walmsley's work in London during 1821. As we gaze upon this piece, we are transported back to the Regency period when it was created. The elegant composition and refined technique exemplify the artistic standards of that era. Bridgeman Images has preserved this historical gem for us to appreciate today. It serves as a testament to Paulus Pontius' enduring legacy and reminds us of the immense contributions made by artists throughout history.
