EDITORS COMMENTS
The Nickleby Portrait, painted by Daniel Maclise in 1839, is a captivating depiction of the renowned British novelist Charles Dickens. This oil on canvas print measures 75x60 cm and can be found at the Charles Dickens Museum in London, UK. Commissioned by Chapman and Hall, Dickens's publishers at the time, this portrait was intended to serve as the frontispiece for his novel Nicholas Nickleby. Considered one of Maclise's masterworks, it is said to have captured a perfect likeness of Dickens during his residence at 48 Doughty Street. In this painting, we see Dickens seated at a desk in a study-like setting. The Victorian author exudes an air of intellectualism and pensiveness as he gazes into the distance. His posture suggests deep concentration and contemplation while immersed in his literary world. This portrait not only showcases Dickens as an influential figure but also reflects the essence of Victorian literature itself. It embodies the spirit of English literature with its rich storytelling tradition and profound impact on society. As admirers gaze upon this remarkable piece, they are transported back to a time when Charles Dickens reigned supreme over British literature. The Nickleby Portrait serves as a testament to both Maclise's artistic talent and Dickens's enduring legacy as one of history's greatest literary minds.
