EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of Robert Louis Stevenson, a renowned Scottish writer, in exquisite detail. Created by Augustus Saint-Gaudens in 1887/88 and cast between 1888 and 1928, this bronze sculpture showcases the artist's mastery of realism. Stevenson is depicted sitting on a bed in his bedchamber, engrossed in deep thought. The close-up profile shot allows us to appreciate every intricate feature of his face – from the lines etched on his forehead to the intensity reflected in his eyes. A pillow rests against the headboard, adding a touch of comfort to this intimate scene. The image transports us back to the late 19th century when Stevenson was at the height of his literary career. Known for his novels such as "Treasure Island" and "Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde" he was not only an accomplished novelist but also an essayist and poet. Saint-Gaudens' skillful craftsmanship brings out both strength and vulnerability in Stevenson's expression, capturing the complexity that defined him as a writer. This work serves as a testament to their shared artistic vision. Displayed at the Art Institute Chicago, this photograph offers viewers a glimpse into history while honoring one of Scotland's most celebrated literary figures. It reminds us that great art has no boundaries – transcending time, place, and medium – leaving an indelible mark on those who encounter it.
