About this artwork
In 1813, Byron posed for Thomas Phillips in an Albanian outfit he had purchased four years prior. The ensemble is currently housed at Bowood in Wiltshire. Byron made a trip to Albania in 1809 during his extensive European tour. He was quite taken with the traditional attire he noticed while visiting the residence of the Albanian leader, Ali Pasha.In a letter to his mom, Byron expressed that the Albanian garb was 'the most spectacular in the world', and he acquired multiple outfits to ship back to his home in Newstead. The completed portrait received mixed reviews, however Leigh Hunt, a poet and essayist, believed it was 'undoubtedly the finest that had been created; I'm talking about the finest of him during his prime years, and the most resembling of him both in traits and expression'. This rendition was created around 1835.The portrait remains one of the most iconic and enduring images of the poet during his prime years.
