EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the esteemed artist Thomas Faed, a Royal Academician in 1880. Born in Scotland, Faed honed his artistic skills at the Edinburgh School of Design before being elected as an associate of the Scottish Academy in 1849. His talent soon gained recognition beyond Scotland's borders when he exhibited for the first time at London's prestigious Royal Academy in 1851. Settling permanently in London the following year, Faed's evocative and occasionally sentimental depictions of Scottish life resonated deeply with Victorian sensibilities. His paintings became immensely popular during this era, establishing him as one of its most beloved artists. In recognition of his contributions to the arts, Faed was elected as an associate member of the Royal Academy in 1861 and later became a full member in 1864. This portrait showcases Faed's distinguished appearance; his face adorned with a well-groomed moustache and sideburns that were fashionable during the nineteenth century. The monochrome composition adds a timeless quality to this image, emphasizing both his individuality and connection to Scottish heritage. Preserved within "Men of Mark: A Gallery of Contemporary Portraits" photographed by Lock & Whitfield with accompanying biographical notes by Thompson Cooper, this print serves as a testament to Thomas Faed's significant contribution to art history. It offers viewers a glimpse into not only his physical presence but also into an era where art played an influential role in shaping society.
