EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait print showcases the renowned social reformer and philosopher, Jeremy Bentham, in all his intellectual glory. Painted by George Frederic Watts in 1837, this early work captures Bentham seated beneath a majestic tree, exuding wisdom and authority. Dressed in a striking blue jacket, black waistcoat, and crisp white shirt, Bentham's attire reflects both his refined taste and scholarly pursuits. His direct gaze towards the camera reveals a man of great intellect and determination. The artist skillfully portrays every intricate detail of Bentham's appearance with remarkable precision. What makes this artwork truly unique is its fascinating backstory. Created from the embalmed body of the sitter himself, which had stood for years at University College London's entrance hall before being immortalized on canvas by Watts. This unconventional approach adds an intriguing layer to an already compelling piece of art history. The composition beautifully balances nature with human presence as Bentham sits serenely amidst lush greenery. The inclusion of his walking stick further emphasizes his elderly stature while symbolizing strength and resilience. Watts' masterful use of oil paints brings depth to each brushstroke, creating a lifelike portrayal that captivates viewers even today. This exceptional print not only pays homage to one of Britain's most influential thinkers but also serves as a testament to the enduring power of portraiture as an art form.
