EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait print showcases Frederick Frankland, a prominent figure in the 18th-century English banking industry. Painted by the renowned artist William Hogarth around 1739-40, this oil on canvas masterpiece measures 127x100.3 cm and is currently housed at the Huntington Library, Art Museum, and Botanical Gardens in San Marino, CA. In this striking portrayal, Frankland exudes an air of confidence and authority as he sits comfortably in his frock coat. His powdered wig adds to his distinguished appearance while his portly physique hints at a life of prosperity. The brown suit he wears complements his features perfectly. As Governor of the Bank of England from 1745 to 1747, Frankland played a crucial role in shaping the financial landscape of his time. This painting captures him during one of those influential years when he held such significant power and responsibility. Hogarth's attention to detail is evident throughout this three-quarter-length composition. From Frankland's smug expression to the meticulous rendering of each brushstroke that brings out every contour on his face, it is clear that Hogarth sought to immortalize not just a man but also an era defined by wealth and opulence. This print serves as both a historical document and an artistic treasure—a testament to Frederick Frankland's legacy as well as William Hogarth's mastery in capturing human character through paintbrushes and pigments.
