EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the esteemed John Stanley, a renowned English composer and organist from the 18th century. The engraving, measuring 31.4x22.6 cm, is part of the Gerald Coke Handel Collection at the Foundling Museum in London. In this striking portrait, we see John Stanley seated at a double manual harpsichord or piano, fully immersed in his musical world. Despite being blind and elderly, his passion for music shines through as he plays with eyes closed and an expression of pure concentration on his face. The image captures not only Stanley's remarkable talent but also his resilience in overcoming physical challenges to pursue his artistry. It serves as a testament to the power of music to transcend limitations and touch souls. The composition exudes a sense of elegance and grace that is characteristic of Georgian-era aesthetics. The attention to detail is evident in every line etched into the engraving, bringing forth both realism and artistic flair. This portrait offers us a glimpse into the life of one of history's great musicians – a man who dedicated himself wholeheartedly to his craft despite facing adversity. It reminds us that true artists are driven by their love for their art form above all else. Bridgeman Images has beautifully captured this moment in time through their expert curation and preservation techniques. This print stands as a timeless tribute to John Stanley's legacy within classical music history.
