Description: | RU s. in pencil c. "W. R. / 1904" CRE ROTHENSTEIN, William Michael, Sir; (English; 1872-1945) Portrait of William Thomson, Baron Kelvin (1824-1907), mathematician and physicist. Rothenstein made several portraits of Kelvin, and descried the experience in Men and Memories (1932): "Through Professor Jack I met another of the scientific Titans, Lord Kelvin, of whom I made several portraits. Of the greatness of his mind I was assured, but a duller man, from my ignorant point of view, I had never met." The artist has bathed his sitter's head with sunlight to indicate his unusual brilliance. | License: | http://www.hmag.gla.ac.uk/spirit/rights/ | Publisher: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Rights holder: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Subjects: | PORTRAIT : MALE : UNIVERSITY : GLASGOW : LORD KELVIN : RUBENS TO MACKINTOSH : | Source: | Hunterian Museum | Creator: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Identifier: | http://www.huntsearch.gla.ac.uk/cgi-bin/... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
