EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the esteemed sculptor Joseph Nollekens alongside his magnificent bust of Laurence Sterne. Painted in 1772 by John Francis Rigaud, this oil on canvas masterpiece measures 76.2x63.5 cm and is currently housed at the Yale Center for British Art, Paul Mellon Collection in the USA. Nollekens, a renowned male artist of his time, stands proudly next to his creation with an air of accomplishment and admiration. The intricate details of Sterne's bust showcase Nollekens' exceptional talent as a sculptor, capturing not only the physical likeness but also the essence and character of the famous Irish-born English writer. Laurence Sterne himself was a prominent figure in literature during the 18th century. An author and novelist known for works such as "Tristram Shandy" and "A Sentimental Journey". Sterne's contributions to English literature were highly regarded. In this photograph, we witness an exquisite blend of art forms - painting and sculpture coming together harmoniously. The skillful brushstrokes by Rigaud bring life to both Nollekens' portrait and his remarkable creation. As we gaze upon this image from Fine Art Finder, we are transported back in time to witness a moment frozen forever; a testament to artistic excellence that continues to inspire generations today.
