John Opie, a renowned 18th-century artist, captured the essence of life through his captivating paintings. In his masterpiece "Street Singer and Child, " Opie skillfully portrayed the raw emotions of a struggling musician and an innocent child, evoking empathy in the viewer. Another notable work by Opie is "Mary, Queen of Scots witnessing the murder of David Rizzio. " This painting, created in 1791 by Isaac Taylor, depicts a pivotal moment in history with great detail and intensity. Opie's talent extended beyond historical scenes as seen in his portrait of Mary Wollstonecraft. Painted around 1797, this oil on canvas piece showcases Wollstonecraft's strength and intellect. Not only was Opie skilled with brushes but also with engraving tools; he depicted himself coming back adorned in silk coat and lace ruffles. Opie's ability to capture familial bonds shines through in his group portrait titled "Group Portrait of Mary, Charlotte, Caroline and Eliza. " The daughters of Christopher are immortalized on canvas with their unique personalities shining through each brushstroke. Although Opie passed away at a young age (1761-1807), his legacy lives on through various engravings that showcase different aspects of his life and works. One such engraving from 1830 captures him beautifully while another from the early-mid 19th century portrays someone who fulfilled their vow towards her - an intriguing mystery left for interpretation. Opie's artistic prowess wasn't limited to individuals; he also painted influential figures like Sir John Morshead, Bart. , Lord Warden of the Stanneries during the late 18th century. Additionally, Mr. Quick from Zennor Cornwall became one subject among many who were fortunate enough to be immortalized by Opie's brushstrokes. Even as a child holding his loyal companion Fop close by, The Reverend George Scobell, D. D.
