EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative portrait captures the dashing and scandalous figure of John Wilmot, 2nd Earl of Rochester (1647-1680), an English poet and courtier of the Restoration era. The image, dated around 1680, showcases Wilmot's distinctive curly locks, framed by an oval wig, and his long, flowing cravat adorned with intricate lace. His piercing gaze and confident posture exude an air of charisma and rebellion, reflecting his notorious reputation as a libertine and wit. Born into the nobility, Wilmot's early life was marked by tragedy and scandal. He was orphaned at a young age and raised by his uncle, the 1st Earl of Rochester. Despite this, Wilmot's extravagant lifestyle and scandalous behavior brought him more notoriety than his noble title. He was known for his satirical poetry and his association with the Merry Monarch, King Charles II, who was notorious for his own hedonistic pursuits. Wilmot's poetry, which often dealt with themes of love, death, and the fleeting nature of life, was highly influential in the Restoration period. His most famous works include "Absence," "A Satire Against Mankind," and "Upon Nothing." Despite his scandalous reputation, Wilmot was also known for his intellectual pursuits and his patronage of the arts. This portrait serves as a striking reminder of the complex and intriguing character of John Wilmot, 2nd Earl of Rochester, a man who defied societal norms and left an indelible mark on English literature and history.
