1735 1785 Engraver Woollett


EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the enigmatic figure of William Woollett (1735-1785), an accomplished English engraver of the 18th century. The image, captured in exquisite detail, reveals Woollett in the prime of his artistic career, with a focused expression and a quill pen in hand, poised to make the next mark on his copperplate. Born in London, Woollett apprenticed under the renowned engraver William Hogarth, learning the intricacies of the craft and honing his skills under the tutelage of a master. Woollett's talent soon came to the attention of the literary world, and he was commissioned to create illustrations for several notable publications, including the works of Samuel Johnson and Oliver Goldsmith. Woollett's innovative techniques and masterful use of line and shading set him apart from his contemporaries. He is particularly known for his ability to capture the subtle nuances of human emotion and expression in his engravings. This skill is evident in the print, as Woollett's intense gaze and deft touch convey a sense of deep concentration and artistic dedication. Despite his success, Woollett's life was not without its challenges. He was known to be a heavy drinker, and his addiction took a toll on his health and his relationships. However, he continued to produce remarkable works throughout his career, leaving a lasting legacy in the world of English art. This print is a testament to Woollett's artistic prowess and his enduring influence on the history of engraving. It offers a glimpse into the life of a complex and talented artist, whose work continues to inspire and captivate audiences today.
