EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait of Robert Louis Stevenson, captured in 1892, showcases the Scottish novelist and poet at the height of his literary career. Born on November 13, 1850, Stevenson is best known for his thrilling works of fiction, including the timeless adventure "Treasure Island" and the chilling tale of moral duality, "The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde." The portrait, painted by the esteemed Italian artist Girolamo Pieri Pecci Ballati, was completed in 1892. Ballati, a skilled painter from Florence, Italy, expertly captured the depth and intensity of Stevenson's gaze, reflecting the profound imagination and creativity that fueled his groundbreaking literary contributions. Stevenson's literary prowess transcended the boundaries of his time, leaving an indelible mark on the literary world. His works have been translated into over 120 languages and continue to captivate readers around the globe. In this portrait, we see a man who embodies the spirit of adventure and the power of the written word. Stevenson's impact on literature is undeniable, and this portrait serves as a testament to his enduring legacy. The portrait was once in the possession of Malcolm Esq., Sydney Ballatinerli, and is now part of the esteemed March of the Women Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online. This image provides a rare glimpse into the life of one of the most influential writers of the late 19th century, offering a glimpse into the man behind the masterpieces that continue to captivate and inspire readers today.
