EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the portrait of Richard Humphreys, a renowned English bare-knuckle fighter from the late 18th century. Painted by John Hoppner in 1788, this oil on canvas masterpiece measures 141.6 x 112.4 cm and is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Richard Humphreys, also known as Richard Humphries, was commissioned for this portrait ahead of his highly anticipated match against Daniel Mendoza on January 9th, 1788. Unfortunately for Humphreys, Mendoza emerged victorious in this well-publicized bout. The painting exudes energy and action as it captures Humphreys' powerful stance and aggressive demeanor. The artist skillfully portrays the essence of a champion athlete through every brushstroke. Humphreys is depicted bare-chested with flannel trousers, silk stockings, and pumps - typical attire for a gentleman boxer during that era. His muscular physique reflects his dedication to training and exemplifies the physicality required for such intense competitions. This artwork not only represents an important moment in boxing history but also serves as a testament to the popularity of pugilism during Georgian times. It encapsulates both the raw intensity of bare-knuckle fighting and its status as a form of entertainment. Overall, this print immortalizes Richard Humphreys' legacy as one of England's most prominent prizefighters while capturing the spirit and atmosphere surrounding boxing matches in the late 18th century.
