EDITORS COMMENTS
This mezzotint portrait depicts Thomas Britton (1644-1714), an influential antiquarian and book collector from Great Britain. The image was created by the skilled hand of John Simon (1675-1751), a renowned English mezzotint engraver. The portrait was produced after the year 1736, showcasing the meticulous attention to detail and masterful technique that Simon is known for. Britton's portrait is a prime example of the Baroque period's emphasis on grandeur and elegance. Thomas Britton was a prominent figure in the literary and antiquarian circles of his time. He was a prolific writer and collector, with a particular interest in ancient coins and medals. Britton's most notable works include "A Catalogue of the Coins in the Cabinet of the Late King Charles II" and "A Catalogue of the Coins in the Cabinet of King William III." John Simon's mezzotint technique involved using a tool with a sharp edge to roughen the surface of the copper plate, creating a textured image. He then used a burnisher to smooth out the high points of the image, creating contrast and depth. The result is a rich and intricate portrait that captures the essence of its subject. This portrait of Thomas Britton is a testament to the artistic and intellectual achievements of the Baroque period in Great Britain. It is a rare and valuable work of art that continues to captivate viewers with its exquisite detail and masterful execution.
