EDITORS COMMENTS
This black lead and chalk portrait of John Aubrey, created by the talented artist William Faithorne in 1666, offers a glimpse into the enigmatic personality of this renowned English antiquary. Measuring at 19.6x14.5 cm, this exquisite print is housed within the prestigious Ashmolean Museum at the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom. John Aubrey himself was an intriguing figure, known for his notable work "Lives of Eminent Men". As a biographer and writer, he delved deep into the lives and achievements of prominent individuals throughout history. This portrait captures his essence with its meticulous attention to detail, showcasing his sullen yet contemplative expression. The artwork's monochromatic palette adds depth and intensity to Aubrey's features while highlighting Faithorne's exceptional skill as an artist. The composition exudes a sense of intellectualism and introspection that resonates with viewers even centuries later. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are transported back in time to witness the presence of one who dedicated their life to preserving knowledge through literature. It serves as a testament to both Aubrey's legacy as well as Faithorne's ability to capture not only physical likeness but also inner character on paper.
