EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the esteemed Martin Folkes, a prominent figure in 18th-century London. Painted by Jonathan Richardson in 1718, this oil on canvas print showcases Folkes' dignified presence and intellectual prowess. Folkes was not only an accomplished antiquarian but also served as the President of the Society of Antiquaries of London during a pivotal time in its history. It was under his leadership that the society was granted its prestigious Royal Charter in 1751, solidifying its status as a respected institution. In this half-length portrait, we see Folkes adorned in luxurious velvet attire, exuding an air of sophistication and authority. The vibrant blue hues complement his regal stature while highlighting his position within both the Society of Antiquaries and the Royal Society. Notably, he wears a turban atop his head, adding an intriguing touch to this Georgian-era painting. This unique choice reflects Folkes' interest in diverse cultures and their contributions to antiquity. Preserved by the Society of Antiquaries of London today, this remarkable artwork serves as a testament to Martin Folkes' significant contributions to academia and preservation efforts. It stands as a reminder of his enduring legacy within both scholarly circles and British society at large.
