EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Regal Silhouette: Frederick, Prince of Wales (1707-1751)" This evocative silhouette portrait captures the enigmatic and sophisticated presence of Frederick, Prince of Wales (1707-1751). Born in London, England, in 1707, Frederick was the eldest son of King George I and Sophia Dorothea of Hanover. He was destined for greatness from an early age, serving as the Prince of Wales from 1714 until his untimely death in 1751. The oval silhouette format, popular during the 18th century, emphasizes the subject's profile and highlights the delicate interplay of light and shadow. In this portrait, Frederick's strong jawline, high forehead, and piercing gaze are accentuated by the stark contrast between the dark silhouette and the light background. His regal attire, complete with a white cravat and a red sash, further underscores his noble status. Frederick's life was marked by political intrigue, personal tragedy, and a deep love for the arts. He was a patron of the arts and sciences, and his influence extended to various aspects of British culture, including architecture, music, and literature. Despite his many accomplishments, Frederick's reign as Prince of Wales was fraught with tension, as he clashed with his father over matters of policy and succession. This silhouette portrait offers a glimpse into the complex and captivating character of Frederick, Prince of Wales, a man who left an indelible mark on British history. The artistry and elegance of the silhouette technique serve to preserve his memory and showcase the beauty and sophistication of the 18th century. Mary Evans Picture Library is proud to offer this exquisite silhouette portrait for historical research, educational purposes, and personal enjoyment. The Library's extensive collection of historical images continues to inspire and inform scholars, artists, and enthusiasts around the world.
