EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating portrait of Hugh Hope, painted by Henry Raeburn around 1810, is a testament to the artist's unique style and talent. Raeburn's decision to forgo any preliminary drawing in favor of painting directly on the canvas gives this piece an informal and spontaneous quality. Influenced by his English predecessor Joshua Reynolds, whose work can also be found in this gallery, Raeburn adopted a looser style reminiscent of his contemporary Thomas Lawrence. This approach allowed him to capture the essence of his subjects with great skill and authenticity. Hugh Hope, an Edinburgh native depicted in this portrait, was about to embark on a journey to India where he would serve as a civil servant. The painting serves as a lasting memory of Hope before he set off on his new adventure. Measuring at 94.5x82 centimeters when framed (75x61 centimeters unframed), this artwork now resides at the Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA. It is part of their collection and was gifted in honor of Jane Taft Ingalls during the museum's seventy-fifth anniversary celebration. This remarkable piece showcases not only Raeburn's mastery but also provides insight into the life and aspirations of its subject. With its rich history and timeless beauty, it continues to captivate viewers from all walks of life.
