EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait print showcases the iconic Benjamin Franklin, a renowned American statesman and scientist. Painted by Alexander Roslin in the late 18th century, it is based on an original work by Joseph Siffrede-Duplessis. The oil on canvas composition measures 73x59.7 cm and is currently housed in the esteemed collection of the New-York Historical Society. Franklin's intellectual prowess and contributions to society are beautifully captured in this painting. Known for his role as one of the signatories of the Declaration of Independence, he played a crucial part in shaping America's history. Beyond politics, Franklin was also an inventor and philosopher, famously credited with inventing bifocal spectacles. The oval-shaped portrait exudes a sense of wisdom and intelligence that befits Franklin's reputation as a prominent figure during his time. His piercing gaze seems to invite viewers into his world, where knowledge and innovation were at the forefront. As we admire this historic artwork, we are reminded of Franklin's lasting impact on both America and the world at large. This print serves as a testament to his enduring legacy as an influential thinker who helped shape not only his nation but also our understanding of science, philosophy, and human progress.
