EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the esteemed Portrait of Thomas Tompion, a renowned figure in the world of clockmaking. Engraved by the skilled artist John Smith using the mezzotint technique, this artwork beautifully captures Tompion's dignified presence. The portrait depicts Thomas Tompion (1639-1713), a man who left an indelible mark on horology. Known for his exceptional craftsmanship and innovation, he was elected Master of the Clockmakers Company in 1703, solidifying his reputation as one of England's most accomplished clockmakers. Tompion's contribution to timekeeping extended beyond his mastery of clocks. In 1676, he was appointed as the official clockmaker for the new Royal Observatory—an honor that speaks volumes about his expertise and precision. Godfrey Kneller (1646-1723) originally painted this striking portrait from which John Smith created this exquisite mezzotint engraving. The attention to detail is evident in every stroke and line, capturing not only Tompion's likeness but also showcasing his distinguished wig—a symbol of status during that era. Preserved within a private collection, this print offers us a glimpse into history while celebrating an individual whose legacy continues to inspire generations. As we admire this remarkable piece by Bridgeman Images, we are reminded of Thomas Tompion's lasting impact on horological artistry and innovation.
