EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the bold and adventurous spirit of John Smith (circa 1580-1631), an English colonist and military adventurer whose exploits in America helped shape the early history of the New World. Smith's intriguing visage, with its deep-set eyes, bushy eyebrows, oval face, and well-groomed beard and mustache, conveys a sense of determination and resilience. Born in Lincolnshire, England, Smith first gained fame as a soldier, serving in the army of the Dutch Republic against Spain. He later sailed to America in 1606, seeking fortune and adventure in the New World. Smith played a pivotal role in the founding of Jamestown, Virginia, the first permanent English settlement in North America. He was instrumental in defending the colony against Native American attacks and was instrumental in establishing a system of government based on representative democracy. Despite his many accomplishments, Smith's life was marked by tragedy and hardship. He was captured by Native Americans in 1607 and held captive for over a year, during which time he was rescued by a group of English explorers. He later returned to England, where he wrote a popular account of his experiences in America, "The Generall Historie of Virginia, New England, and the Summer Isles." Smith's legacy as a military leader, colonist, and writer continues to be celebrated in American history. This evocative portrait offers a glimpse into the complex and fascinating life of a man who helped shape the course of history in the New World.
