EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of John Pettie, a renowned artist and Royal Academician in 19th century Britain. Taken in 1882 by Lock & Whitfield, this portrait showcases Pettie's distinguished appearance with his bald head, full beard, and intense gaze. Born in Edinburgh in 1839, Pettie made his mark on the art world after moving to London in 1862. Just two years later, he exhibited at the prestigious Royal Academy for the first time. His talent was recognized when he became a Royal Academician in 1873, solidifying his place among the artistic elite. Pettie's dedication to his craft is evident through his consistent contributions to the Royal Academy's Summer Exhibition from 1862 until his untimely death in 1893. His works were highly regarded and admired for their skillful execution and attention to detail. This photograph is part of "Men of Mark" a collection featuring contemporary portraits of influential men across various fields. It provides a glimpse into Pettie's life as an artist during Victorian times—a period known for its rich artistic heritage. Lock & Whitfield expertly captured not only Pettie's physical features but also his passion for art that radiates from within him. This print serves as a testament to both Pettie's legacy as an accomplished painter and Lock & Whitfield's mastery behind the lens. As we admire this monochrome masterpiece today, it allows us to appreciate how one man’s talent can leave an indelible mark on history while inspiring future generations of artists.
