EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the distinguished features and intellectual prowess of James Forbes (1749-1819), a renowned Scottish author and Fellow of the Royal Society. Forbes is best known for his Oriental memoirs and extensive contributions to the field of Oriental studies. At the age of 62, his wisdom and experience are evident in the lines on his face and the piercing intensity of his gaze. Born in Edinburgh, Scotland, Forbes developed an early interest in Oriental languages and cultures. He spent many years traveling and living in the Middle East, immersing himself in the rich history and traditions of the region. His first major work, "A Description of Egypt," was published in 1785 and was followed by several other influential publications, including "Observations on the Ruins of Palmyra" and "An Astrological Treatise on the Planets." Forbes' membership in the Royal Society, one of the oldest and most prestigious scientific institutions in the world, is a testament to his intellectual achievements and contributions to the field of Oriental studies. His works were widely read and admired by scholars and travelers alike, and continue to be valued for their insights into the history and culture of the Middle East. This portrait, taken in 1811, offers a glimpse into the life of a man who dedicated his life to the pursuit of knowledge and understanding of the world beyond Europe. With his penetrating gaze and the weight of his years, Forbes seems to be inviting us to join him on a journey of discovery, to explore the wonders of the East and expand our own horizons.
