EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait print by Francesco Bartolozzi showcases the esteemed English clergyman and antiquary, William Gostling. Painted in 1777, just four years before his passing at the age of 81, this artwork immortalizes Gostling's dignified presence and intellectual prowess. Dressed in traditional eighteenth-century attire, Gostling exudes an air of wisdom and sophistication. Bartolozzi's masterful engraving technique brings out every intricate detail of Gostling's clothing and headdress. The artist skillfully captures the essence of a man deeply rooted in his Christian faith and dedicated to his profession as a churchman. His oval-shaped portrait is framed with elegance, emphasizing his importance within British society during this period. Gostling was not only known for his religious contributions but also for his significant role as an historian and writer. His literary works shed light on Britain's rich history, making him a respected figure among scholars. This print serves as a testament to Gostling's enduring legacy as well as Bartolozzi's artistic talent.
