More about this artwork

"George Biggin" (1783) by Julius Caesar Ibbetson portrays a young gentleman, poised and serene against an idyllic landscape backdrop. The painting features George Biggin, a figure clothed in the fashion of the late 18th century, with meticulous detail given to his attire—from the ruffled white shirt peeking through his unbuttoned waistcoat, to his knee-length black breeches and glossy, buckled shoes. His deep green coat flares slightly open, revealing his slender figure.His expression is calm, and his posture is casually elegant, with one hand gracefully holding a hat and with his gaze confidently meeting the viewer’s eyes. The background presents a soft, countryside scene under a spacious sky, giving a sense of openness and tranquility that complements the refined composure of the subject. This landscape not only situates Biggin within the beauty of nature but also highlights the romantic and pastoral themes popular in art during Ibbetson's time.This artwork stands as a testament to Ibbetson’s skill in combining portraiture with landscape, capturing both the personality of his subject and the beauty of the natural setting with clarity and sensitivity.

Julius Sergius von Klever was a Baltic German landscape painter.

His father was a chemist who taught pharmacology at the Veterinary Institute. He displayed artistic talent at an early age and took lessons from Konstantin von Kügelgen. After completing his primary education, was enrolled at the Imperial Academy of Fine Arts where, at his father's insistence, he studied architecture. After a short time, however, he began to take landscape painting classes; first with Sokrat Vorobiev, then Mikhail Clodt.
