EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases a plaque with a portrait bust of the renowned American statesman and polymath, Benjamin Franklin. Created by British artist Richard Champion around 1775, this unique piece reflects the complex transatlantic ties during the formative years of the American colonies. The porcelain biscuit plaque, adorned with intricate floral designs, frames the profile portrait of Franklin, who was a central figure in the political landscape of both Europe and America during this period. Franklin's influence extended far beyond the American continent, making him a figure of interest for European artists like Champion. The bust's lifelike depiction highlights Franklin's intellectual prowess and political acumen. As a founding father, diplomat, scientist, and inventor, Franklin's impact on American history is immeasurable. This exquisite piece not only serves as a testament to Franklin's legacy but also as a reminder of the intricate historical connections between Europe and the United States during the 18th century. The plaque is currently housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it is a cherished addition to their extensive collection of decorative arts and historical artifacts. This piece not only adds to the museum's rich heritage but also invites visitors to explore the fascinating history of transatlantic relations during a pivotal time in world history.
