EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait print showcases Alderman George Bargate Bainbridge J. P. , a prominent figure in the bustling city of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, UK. Painted by the esteemed artist Thomas Bowman Garvie, this oil on canvas masterpiece measures an impressive 91.8x122.6 cm and is housed in the prestigious Laing Art Gallery. George Bainbridge's significance lies not only in his role as a director of the renowned family firm, Bainbridge Department Store (later part of John Lewis), but also in his remarkable sixty-year tenure with the company. This striking portrait was presented to commemorate his long-standing dedication to the business in 1927. The composition captures Mr. Bainbridge standing confidently before an exquisite patterned curtain, which likely originated from his own store – a testament to both his impeccable taste and professional success. The meticulous brushwork and attention to detail employed by Garvie bring out every nuance of expression on George's face, reflecting wisdom and authority befitting a magistrate and alderman on Newcastle Council. Through this evocative painting, we catch a glimpse into the life of an influential individual who played an integral role in shaping both commerce and governance within Newcastle-upon-Tyne during its heyday. As we admire this timeless artwork, we are reminded of George Bainbridge's enduring legacy as well as Thomas Bowman Garvie's exceptional talent as one of North East England's foremost portrait painters.
