EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait, titled "Charles Avison, 1761" captures the essence of a remarkable English composer. Painted by Francis Lindo in oil on canvas, this masterpiece is housed in St Nicholas Cathedral in Newcastle upon Tyne, UK. The subject of the painting is Charles Avison (1709-70), a prominent figure in the music world during the 18th century. Known as the foremost English concerto composer of his time, Avison's talent and dedication to his craft are evident in this striking image. Avison is depicted here with an air of confidence and poise. Dressed impeccably, he exudes an aura of musical genius. The half-length composition allows us to focus on his expressive face and hands holding a sheet of music manuscript. It is worth noting that Avison lived and worked in Rosemary Lane during the 1730s when he was appointed Organist to St Johns and St Nicholas Churches. This connection adds further significance to this portrait as it represents not only a talented musician but also a man deeply rooted within his community. As we gaze at this painting, we are transported back to a time when classical music reigned supreme. It serves as a reminder of Avison's contributions to Georgian-era compositions and his lasting impact on musical history. Bridgeman Images has beautifully captured this momentous artwork from eTyne & Wear Archives & Museums for all art enthusiasts to admire for generations to come.
