EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the 18th century and introduced to a fascinating character from the world of theater. Johann Gottfried Haid skillfully captures the essence of Mr. Foote in his portrayal of Major Sturgeon, a role he played in "The Mayor of Garrat" in 1765. Haid's mezzotint technique on laid paper brings out every intricate detail, allowing us to appreciate the artistry involved in this piece. The rich tones and textures add depth and dimension to Mr. Foote's character, making him come alive before our eyes. Johann Zoffany's original work serves as the inspiration for Haid's print, highlighting their collaboration and mutual appreciation for theatrical subjects. Zoffany was renowned for his ability to capture both the physical likeness and inner spirit of his subjects, which is evident here through Haid's interpretation. As we gaze upon this print, we can almost hear Mr. Foote delivering witty lines with impeccable timing or see him commanding attention on stage with his larger-than-life presence. It is a testament to both Haid and Zoffany that they were able to immortalize such an iconic character from one particular play. Quint Lox has expertly curated this piece from the Liszt Collection, ensuring that it remains a cherished representation of theatrical history for generations to come.
