Painting Description
"Charles Robert Darwin (1809-82)" is an oil-on-canvas portrait by the English artist John Maler Collier, created in 1881. The painting depicts Charles Darwin, the eminent British naturalist known for his contributions to the science of evolution, particularly the theory of natural selection. Collier, a leading portrait painter of his time, was commissioned to create this work by the Linnean Society of London, an institution dedicated to the study and dissemination of information concerning natural history, evolution, and taxonomy.
The portrait presents Darwin in his later years, seated and surrounded by an aura of intellectual gravitas, reflecting his status as a respected scientist and thinker. Collier's skillful use of light and shadow, along with his attention to detail, captures the essence of Darwin's character, emphasizing his thoughtful and inquisitive nature. The artwork serves as a significant historical record, immortalizing Darwin's visage at a time when his ideas had begun to profoundly influence scientific thought and public discourse.
This portrait is considered one of the most iconic images of Charles Darwin and has been widely reproduced in various media, contributing to the visual legacy of the man whose ideas revolutionized our understanding of the natural world. The original painting is part of the collections of the Linnean Society, where it remains an object of interest for both art enthusiasts and admirers of Darwin's scientific legacy.
