EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite terracotta bust of Edward Salter, created by the renowned artist John Michael Rysbrack in 1748. The Ashmolean Museum at the University of Oxford proudly houses this remarkable piece, which offers a glimpse into Georgian artistry and craftsmanship. At just six years old, young Edward Salter is immortalized in this sculpture with astonishing detail and precision. Every curve and contour of his face is expertly captured, revealing a sense of innocence and youthfulness that captivates viewers even after centuries have passed. Measuring 41.9 cm in height, 30.5 cm in length, and 19.1 cm in width, this terracotta masterpiece stands as a testament to Rysbrack's skillful technique and ability to breathe life into his subjects through clay. The photograph allows us to appreciate not only the artistic value but also the historical significance of this bust. It serves as a time capsule from an era long gone by – an era when boys like Edward Salter roamed freely with their youthful spirit intact. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of the power that art possesses to transcend time and connect us with our shared human experiences. This particular piece invites us to reflect on childhood innocence while marveling at Rysbrack's talent for capturing it so beautifully.
