EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait print showcases Sydney Smith, a prominent figure in the 19th century. Created by the talented artist Edwin Landseer in approximately 1821, this artwork beautifully captures Smith's essence through delicate pencil and watercolor strokes on paper. Smith, born in 1771 and passing away in 1845, was not only an undergraduate and fellow of New College, Oxford but also a social reformer and critic. He is best known as the founder of The Edinburgh Review, a publication that played a significant role in shaping literary criticism during his time. In this three-quarter length portrait, Smith exudes intelligence and charisma. His piercing gaze reflects his sharp intellect while his confident posture portrays his strong personality. The artist masterfully captures every detail of Smith's facial features with remarkable precision. Landseer's choice of medium adds depth to the composition; the subtle use of watercolors enhances the overall vibrancy of the piece without overpowering its elegance. This print serves as both a historical document and an artistic masterpiece. It offers viewers a glimpse into the life and character of Sydney Smith – an influential man who left an indelible mark on society through his writings and ideas.
