EDITORS COMMENTS
In this portrait print, we are introduced to Benjamin Moreland, the esteemed High Master of St. Paul's School. Painted by the talented British artist John Smibert, this oil on canvas artwork showcases Moreland in all his scholarly glory. The composition is rich with symbolism and details that speak volumes about Moreland's role as an educator. Dressed in a Georgian-style attire complete with ruffles and buckles, he exudes an air of authority and wisdom. With shelves filled with books behind him, it is evident that knowledge is at the heart of his teachings. Moreland's posture and gesture suggest a man deeply engrossed in reading or perhaps delivering a lesson to his students. The inscription in brown paint across the bottom adds another layer of significance to this piece. It reveals that this portrait was presented to the company by a group of gentlemen who were educated by Moreland at Hackney. Their act serves as both a testimonial of their esteem for him and gratitude for his guidance. John Smibert masterfully captures not only Moreland's physical appearance but also his impact as an influential headmaster shaping young minds during this period. This print from the Liszt Collection allows us to appreciate both Smibert's artistic prowess and Moreland's contribution to education in 18th-century Britain.
