EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait print showcases Rammohun Roy, a prominent Indian religious reformer of the 19th century. Painted in 1832 by Henry Perronet Briggs, this oil on canvas masterpiece measures an impressive 236.2x144.7 cm and is currently housed at the Bristol Museum and Art Gallery in the UK. Rammohun Roy's piercing gaze and dignified demeanor are beautifully captured in this artwork. Dressed in traditional Hindu attire, he wears a vibrant shawl and an intricately designed turban that adds to his regal presence. The attention to detail is remarkable, with every brushstroke bringing out the depth of his character. The portrait holds historical significance as it was created during Rammohun Roy's visit to England in 1831, shortly before his untimely death near Bristol. It serves as a lasting tribute to his contributions as a religious reformer who sought to bridge cultural gaps between India and the Western world. Donated by Miss A. Kiddell to the Bristol Institution (now known as the City Museum) in 1841, this artwork has become an integral part of Bristol's artistic heritage since its transfer to the Bristol Art Gallery in 1905. Through this print from Fine Art Finder, we can now appreciate Rammohun Roy's legacy and honor his memory for generations to come.
