EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures an intriguing glimpse into the world of art education in the mid-18th century. Titled "An Academy, c. 1759-60" this oil on canvas masterpiece by John Hamilton Mortimer offers a fascinating insight into the inner workings of what is believed to be the St. Martins Lane Academy. The scene depicted showcases an art class in progress, with students diligently engaged in their studies. The focal point of the composition is a male model posing nude for a life drawing session, surrounded by easels and aspiring artists capturing his form on canvas. Mortimer's attention to detail and skillful brushwork bring this historical moment to life, highlighting not only the technical aspects of painting but also shedding light on societal attitudes towards nudity and artistic expression during that era. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, we are transported back in time, witnessing firsthand how young artists honed their craft under expert guidance within these hallowed walls. It serves as a reminder of the timeless pursuit of knowledge and creativity that has been integral to human civilization throughout history. This thought-provoking image invites us to reflect upon our own relationship with art and its transformative power while paying homage to Mortimer's talent as well as Bridgeman Images' commitment to preserving and sharing such invaluable pieces from our collective cultural heritage.
