EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite "Bust of Thomas Johnes of Hafod, MP, FRS" sculpted by Francis Legatt Chantrey in 1811. The plaster sculpture measures an impressive 70x46x29 cm and is currently housed at the Ashmolean Museum, University of Oxford in the UK. Thomas Johnes of Hafod (1748-1816) was a remarkable individual who made significant contributions to various fields. As a Member of Parliament and Fellow of the Royal Society, he held influential positions that allowed him to shape society's trajectory during his time. However, it was not just his political prowess that defined him; he also excelled as a writer, author, social benefactor, architect, translator of Froissart's Chronicles and printer. The bust serves as both a tribute to Johnes' multifaceted achievements and an artistic masterpiece in its own right. Its intricate details capture his dignified presence and intellectual depth with precision. Notably, this particular plaster version served as a model for the marble bust now displayed at the National Museum of Wales. Chantrey's creation has garnered such acclaim that several plaster replicas have been recorded throughout history. This photograph immortalizes one such replica while emphasizing its significance within Western art history. Through this image from Fine Art Finder by Bridgeman Images, viewers can appreciate Thomas Johnes' lasting legacy as well as Chantrey's exceptional talent in sculpting lifelike representations.
