EDITORS COMMENTS
This mezzotint print, titled "A Philosopher Shewing an Experiment on the Air Pump," was created by the renowned British artist Valentine Green in 1769. The image depicts a philosopher, likely Thomas Wright or Joseph Wright of Derby, demonstrating an experiment to a group of fascinated onlookers, including women and children. The experiment in question involves the use of an air pump, a scientific invention that was popular during the 18th century for exploring the properties of air. The image, with its intricate mezzotint technique and traces of engraving on ivory laid paper, transports us back in time to an era of scientific discovery and intellectual curiosity. The philosopher stands confidently in the center, his serious expression contrasting with the sense of wonder and excitement on the faces of those around him. The girls in the foreground, gathered together, seem particularly captivated by the demonstration. The image was created during the Age of Enlightenment, a time when the pursuit of knowledge and understanding was a driving force in European culture. The air pump, with its ability to manipulate and study the very essence of air, represented the pinnacle of scientific achievement and was a source of great fascination for philosophers and intellectuals of the time. This powerful and evocative print is now part of the permanent collection of the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to inspire and captivate audiences with its timeless depiction of scientific inquiry and human curiosity.
