EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative portrait captures the distinguished figure of John Dryden (1631-1700), the renowned English poet and Poet Laureate. Dryden, dressed in the fashionable attire of the late 17th century, dons an elegant wig and a cravat adorned with a bow. The poet's serious expression and piercing gaze convey a sense of deep introspection and profound wisdom. The inscription below the portrait reads, "John Dryden, Poet Laureate, Garter King at Arms, and Historian to His Majesty. Born in Northampton, England, on August 9, 1631. Died in London on October 1, 1700." This epitaph succinctly summarizes Dryden's impressive accomplishments and his place in English literary history. Dryden was a prolific and influential poet, known for his mastery of various poetic forms and his ability to address contemporary issues with wit and eloquence. He was appointed Poet Laureate in 1668, a position he held until his death. In addition to his poetic works, Dryden also made significant contributions to English literature as a dramatist and a historian. His plays, translations, and critical essays continue to be studied and admired for their literary merit and historical significance. This portrait, created by the skilled hand of artist John Basire, offers a glimpse into the life and legacy of one of England's greatest poets. The meticulously detailed rendering of Dryden's attire and the intricate engraving of his epitaph serve as a testament to the artist's artistry and the enduring importance of Dryden's literary achievements.
