EDITORS COMMENTS
This colorized print showcases the renowned English dramatist, poet, and actor, Ben Jonson. Created by artist Goldar in 1785, this portrait beautifully captures Jonson's charismatic presence and theatrical flair. Ben Jonson (c1572-1637) is celebrated for his exceptional contributions to literature during the Jacobean era. His plays Volpone and The Alchemist are considered masterpieces of comedic drama, while his lyric poems continue to enchant readers with their eloquence and depth. In this striking image, Jonson dons an exquisite period costume that transports us back to 17th century England. His regal attire reflects both his occupation as a playwright and his status as a prominent figure in British arts and entertainment. The print not only immortalizes Jonson's talent but also offers a glimpse into the vibrant world of Renaissance theatre. As we admire this portrait, we can almost hear the applause echoing through the grand halls of Stuart-era theaters. Goldar's artistic skill shines through in every brushstroke, breathing life into this historical figure who left an indelible mark on English literature. This colorization adds a new dimension to the original black-and-white engraving by J Oliver from The Print Collector collection. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing portrayal of Ben Jonson, we are reminded of his enduring legacy as one of Britain's most influential playwrights and poets.
