EDITORS COMMENTS
This oil painting on panel depicts Reverend George Crabbe, a renowned poet and chaplain, captured between 1827-28 by the talented artist Rolinda Sharples. The portrait showcases a half-length view of Crabbe, exuding an air of wisdom and introspection. The diary of Ellen Sharples, the mother of the artist, reveals that Crabbe sat for this masterpiece on November 2nd, 1827 while he was residing in Trowbridge. It is believed that the painting was completed shortly after in early 1828. Crabbe's face is beautifully rendered with meticulous brushstrokes, capturing every nuance and expression. His piercing eyes seem to hold countless stories within them while his slightly furrowed brow hints at a lifetime spent contemplating profound thoughts. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork today at Bristol Museum and Art Gallery in the UK, we are transported back to a time when poets were revered as intellectual giants and chaplains provided spiritual guidance to their communities. This portrait not only immortalizes Reverend George Crabbe but also serves as a testament to the artistic talent of Rolinda Sharples. Purchased by eBristol Museums, Galleries & Archives in 1931, this timeless piece continues to inspire viewers with its masterful composition and evocative portrayal of one man's inner world.
