EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the enigmatic figure of M. A. Rooker, A. R. A. , a renowned British painter, illustrator, and engraver from the late 18th century. The portrait, taken around 1900 by an unknown artist, captures Rooker's profile in exquisite detail. Rooker's artistic prowess is evident as he gazes into the distance with an air of quiet contemplation. His contribution to the arts industry was immense; serving as the principal scene painter at London's prestigious Haymarket Theatre during his career. This role allowed him to bring life and vibrancy to countless theatrical productions. The photograph is part of a collection titled "English water-colour with reproductions of drawings by eminent painters" edited by Charles Holme and published by The Studio Library around 1900. It offers a glimpse into Rooker's world through its monochromatic lens. With George Dance Jr. , George II Dance (the younger), and Charles Holme mentioned alongside Rooker in this caption, it becomes apparent that this image holds historical significance within British art circles. Its inclusion in "The Print Collector" further solidifies its value as a treasured piece for enthusiasts and collectors alike. As we admire this intriguing snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of Michael Angelo Rooker's lasting impact on the art world—a legacy that continues to inspire generations even today.
