EDITORS COMMENTS
This full-length portrait depicts the renowned Scottish historian, William Robertson (1721-1793), as he gazes intently into the distance, lost in thought. The portrait, painted by the skilled hand of John Kay, captures Robertson's intellectual intensity and deep concentration. Robertson was a leading figure in the Scottish Enlightenment, a period of great intellectual and cultural development in Scotland during the 18th century. He is best known for his seminal works in Scottish and world history, including "The History of Scotland," "The History of the Reign of the Emperor Charles V," and "The History of America." Robertson's historical writings were groundbreaking in their time, as he sought to provide a comprehensive and objective account of historical events. He was also one of the first historians to adopt a comparative approach, analyzing the similarities and differences between various civilizations and cultures. Robertson's work had a profound influence on the development of historical scholarship and helped to establish history as a respected academic discipline. The portrait of Robertson, painted in the mid-18th century, reflects the intellectual and cultural milieu of the time. Robertson's scholarly pursuits and commitment to objective historical analysis were emblematic of the Enlightenment's emphasis on reason, evidence, and the power of the human mind. The portrait also serves as a reminder of the enduring legacy of the Scottish Enlightenment and the important contributions made by its leading figures to the development of modern historical scholarship.
