EDITORS COMMENTS
This mezzotint print from 1790 showcases John Beresford, a prominent Irish statesman and Chief Commissioner for the Wide Streets Commission. The portrait, created by Gilbert Stuart and engraved by Charles Howard Hodges, captures the essence of Beresford's influential role in Irish politics during the late 18th century. Beresford's piercing gaze and dignified posture convey his authority as a member of the Irish Parliament and Privy Council. As Chief Commissioner for the Wide Streets Commission, he played a pivotal role in transforming Dublin into a modern metropolis through metropolitan improvements. His dedication to urban development is evident in this image, with hints of Georgian architecture serving as an elegant backdrop. The print offers us a glimpse into Ireland's political landscape at that time, highlighting Beresford's significant contributions to society. It serves as both a historical record and an artistic masterpiece that immortalizes this remarkable figure. Displayed within private collections today, this exquisite piece reminds us of Beresford's enduring legacy. With its intricate details and expert craftsmanship, it stands as a testament to Stuart's talent as an artist and Hodges' skillful engraving technique.
