Painting Description
"Portrait of Benjamin Franklin 1706-90" is a historically significant artwork created by Gallo Gallina, an Italian artist known for his portrait paintings during the late 18th century and early 19th centuries. The painting, done in oil on canvas, depicts Benjamin Franklin, one of the Founding Fathers of the United States of America, known for his contributions to the development of electricity exploration and various civic initiatives, as well as his pivotal role in American Enlightenment.
This portrait showcases Franklin during his later years, embodying wisdom through his slightly faded but still piercing gaze. Franklin's garments in the painting are also significant; they reflect his status as a diplomat and intellectual, hinting at his social position during his residence in France. His pose and expression, meanwhile, are rendered with Gallina's characteristic attention to detail and psychological insight, offering a glimpse of Franklin's inner world and mental disposition.
Gallina created the painting in the year 1816, decades after Franklin's death, indicating that the painting was likely based on descriptions or earlier depictions of the subject. The portrait is considered one of the important representations of Benjamin Franklin due to Gallina's reputation and the subject’s historical significance. The artwork is currently housed in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
