EDITORS COMMENTS
This oil on canvas print showcases the esteemed figure of Lewis Morris, known as Llwellyn Ddu o Fon in Welsh. Painted by an anonymous artist from the 18th century Welsh School, this portrait measures 84.2x68.5 cm and is housed at the National Museum Wales. Lewis Morris (1701-65) was a multifaceted individual, renowned for his contributions as a hydrographer, antiquary, poet, and lexicographer. His intellectual pursuits are symbolized by the presence of various objects surrounding him in this painting: a globe representing his vast knowledge of the world, compasses signifying his exploration and mapping skills, and a cap denoting enlightenment. In this half-length portrait, Lewis Morris exudes an air of wisdom and authority. Clad in traditional Welsh attire with a turban-like headpiece adorning his head, he stands proudly before us. The meticulous brushstrokes capture every detail of his facial features – from his piercing eyes to the lines etched on his forehead – revealing both intelligence and depth. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork by Bridgeman Images, we are transported back to an era where great minds like Lewis Morris shaped our understanding of language and geography. This print serves as a testament to not only the rich cultural heritage of Wales but also to the enduring legacy left behind by influential figures such as Lewis Morris.
