EDITORS COMMENTS
The Bermuda Group, Dean Berkeley and his Entourage" is a captivating oil on canvas painting created by John Smibert in 1728 and reworked in 1739. This remarkable piece measures an impressive 176.5 x 236.2 cm and is currently housed at the Yale University Art Gallery in New Haven, CT, USA. The painting depicts George Berkeley, also known as Bishop Berkeley (1685-1753), an Anglo-Irish philosopher who embarked on a journey to America in 1729 with the ambitious goal of establishing a college in Bermuda. Surrounding him are members of his entourage, including men and women dressed in Georgian-era costumes that reflect the fashion trends of the time. Smibert's meticulous attention to detail brings each individual to life within this group portrait. The clergyman's presence exudes wisdom and authority while capturing the essence of their philosophical pursuits. The composition beautifully captures both male and female figures engaged in conversation, showcasing their intellectual camaraderie. This historic artwork provides us with a glimpse into an important moment in history when Bishop Berkeley sought to establish educational institutions overseas. It serves as a testament to his vision for enlightenment through education. As we admire "The Bermuda Group" we are transported back to a time where philosophy intertwined with exploration and ambition flourished. Smibert's masterful brushstrokes immortalize this significant period for future generations to appreciate and ponder upon its profound meaning.
