EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Old Parr When Young, 1820" showcases a pencil drawing on laid paper by the renowned artist William Blake. Measuring 28.4x16.5 cm, this masterpiece is housed in the prestigious Huntington Library, Art Museum, and Botanical Gardens in San Marino, CA. Blake embarked on a series of portraits in 1819 that depicted both real and imaginary characters he envisioned within his mind's eye. This particular artwork stands out as one of his rare "Visionary Heads" as it portrays the entire body of its subject. The figure depicted here is Thomas Par, famously known for his extraordinary longevity and alleged age of 152 when he passed away in 1635. In this stunning portrayal, Blake skillfully captures Old Parr's youthful vigor through heroic musculature that symbolizes spiritual vitality. The attention to detail is evident not only in the meticulous pencil strokes but also in the inscriptions found throughout the piece. The inclusion of various names such as Mr Pepper Called Vincent and Mr Sneyd adds an intriguing layer to this artwork's narrative. Furthermore, inscriptions by Varley provide additional context regarding Old Parr's age at around forty during this period. This remarkable print from Fine Art Finder allows viewers to appreciate Blake's artistic genius while marveling at his ability to bring historical figures to life with such depth and emotion.
