EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait print showcases William Stukeley, a prominent figure in the field of antiquarianism and archaeology during the Georgian era. Painted by Richard Collins around 1726, this oil on canvas piece measures an impressive 234x147.5 cm and is currently housed at the Society of Antiquaries of London in the UK. William Stukeley, depicted here in full length with his hand confidently resting on his hip, was not only a physician but also a passionate scholar dedicated to unraveling prehistoric mysteries. As one of the founding members of the re-established Society of Antiquaries in 1717, he played a pivotal role as its first Secretary. Donning an elegant wig that was fashionable for men at that time, Stukeley's portrait exudes intelligence and curiosity. His contributions to archaeological research were significant, particularly his extensive studies on Stonehenge which earned him recognition as an esteemed archaeologist and antiquary. Stukeley's affiliation with Cambridge University as a medical student further solidified his reputation within academic circles. Admitted as a Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians in 1720, he seamlessly combined his medical expertise with his passion for uncovering ancient history. This remarkable painting by Richard Collins captures both the essence and legacy of William Stukeley—a man who left an indelible mark on our understanding of prehistory through meticulous research and unwavering dedication to preserving our past.
