EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative portrait captures the likeness of Richard Savage (1728-1782), an English poet and playwright, who was a close friend of the renowned literary figure, Dr. Samuel Johnson. Savage, often referred to as "Van Savage" due to his distinctive curly wig, is depicted here in an oval, long format print. The image, created by the Flemish engraver, Jacques Philippe Le Basne, under the supervision of the Dutch painter, Cornelis Norbertus Gucht, in 1743, showcases Savage's thoughtful expression and refined attire. Richard Savage was a prolific writer, known for his poetry and plays. He was born into poverty and faced numerous hardships throughout his life, including being abandoned by his father and spending time in debtors' prison. Despite these challenges, Savage's literary talent was recognized by the literary elite of his time, including Dr. Johnson, who was instrumental in helping him secure a position as a librarian at the British Museum. Savage's friendship with Johnson was a significant one, with the two men sharing a deep bond based on their mutual love of literature. Johnson's influence can be seen in Savage's writing, particularly in his poetry, which often explored themes of melancholy and despair. This portrait of Richard Savage not only offers a glimpse into the life of an important literary figure of the 18th century but also highlights the enduring bond between two men who shared a passion for the written word. The intricate details of Savage's curly wig and the elegant design of the oval print serve as a testament to the skill of the engraver and painter, making this an exquisite addition to any collection of historical portraits or literary memorabilia.
