EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait print showcases Ralph Thoresby, a prominent figure in 18th-century England. Painted by an unknown artist after James Parmentier, this oil on canvas masterpiece measures an impressive 515x413 cm and is currently held at the Society of Antiquaries of London. Ralph Thoresby was not only known for his successful career as a wool merchant in Leeds but also for his unwavering passion for antiquities. Despite being deeply involved in the wool business until 1704, Thoresby's true calling lay within the realm of history and archaeology. His dedication to these fields led him to be elected as a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1697, solidifying his status as an esteemed scholar. In this head and shoulders portrait, we see Thoresby portrayed with great detail and precision. The painting beautifully captures his dignified presence and intellectual aura. Dressed in Georgian attire befitting his social standing, he exudes confidence and sophistication. Thoresby's connection to both commerce and academia is symbolically represented through subtle elements such as wool motifs intertwined with books or artifacts from ancient civilizations adorning the background. These details serve as reminders of his dual identity as a successful merchant-antiquarian. This remarkable piece offers us a glimpse into the life of Ralph Thoresby - a man whose relentless pursuit of knowledge shaped both his personal journey and contributions to society at large.
