EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the esteemed Dr. Richard Mead in all his scholarly glory. Painted by Allan Ramsay in 1747, this oil on canvas print showcases the renowned English physician seated with poise and authority. The painting, measuring an impressive 236.7x144 cm, is currently housed at the Foundling Museum in London. Dr. Richard Mead, born on August 11th, 1673 and passing away on February 16th, 1754, was a prominent figure in medicine during his time. Known for his contributions to various fields of study including epidemiology and toxicology, he left an indelible mark on the medical community. In this portrait, Dr. Mead exudes confidence as he sits elegantly dressed in traditional attire of the era - complete with a distinguished wig that adds to his air of wisdom and intellect. The attention to detail is remarkable; every brushstroke brings out the depth of character etched onto his face. The background hints at St Thomas's Hospital where Dr. Mead practiced medicine and taught aspiring physicians throughout his career. This painting serves as a testament to both his professional achievements and personal stature within society. Preserved meticulously by Coram under the care of the Foundling Museum, this artwork offers us a glimpse into history while honoring one of medicine's most influential figures: Dr. Richard Mead – scholar, teacher, healer extraordinaire.
