EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait print showcases the esteemed Newcastle wood-engraver, Thomas Bewick, during his youth. Painted by George Gray in approximately 1780, it is the earliest known depiction of Bewick. The artist and subject shared a close friendship, as Gray was not only an accomplished painter but also a renowned botanist and chemist. Measuring 57x45.9 cm, this oil on card artwork currently resides at the Laing Art Gallery in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, UK. Interestingly, it was originally gifted to Bewick's mother and remained within the Bewick family for over 150 years. In this half-length portrait, we see Bewick wearing a stylish green jacket with an elegant waistcoat underneath. The oval composition adds a touch of sophistication to the painting while highlighting his youthful features. Thomas Bewick (1753-1828) left an indelible mark on art history through his exceptional skill in wood engraving. His autobiography titled "A Memoir" sheds light on his admiration for George Gray's talents as both an artist and scientist. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from the past, we are transported back to eighteenth-century England—a time when artistic mastery intertwined with scientific curiosity to create lasting legacies such as those left behind by Thomas Bewick and George Gray.
