‘Omai’s defiant and proud gaze makes him fearlessly himself.’

Really enjoyed this article - it takes a close look at Joshua Reynold’s Portrait of Omai (c1776): https://t.co/WBLwA9W0ft

Such a striking portrait that encompasses so many complicated themes.

Good to see many more artists joining the National Portrait Gallery and Art Fund’s campaign to save Sir Joshua Reynolds’ Portrait of Omai 1776 for the nation. Almost half of the £50m needed to buy the work has been raised. To help, visit https://t.co/px1VtoJxbm

It's so interesting when classical sculpture inspires modern artists. In this particular case, we have Joshua Reynolds' Portrait of Omai, which was inspired by the Apollo Belvedere. The 'adlocutio' pose shows off the young man's tattooed hands. 1/

Paintings like the Archers & Three Ladies are based on compositions found in Classical sculpture. The Archers (1769), Duchess of Leinster (1770s), Omai (1776) & Three Ladies Adorning a Term of Hymen (1773)

Great interview by on R4 Today, explaining why Reynold's portrait of Omai (Mai) should be saved from private sale (at the 3 hour mark). https://t.co/1vA8Ihuvj3 It is a truly astonishing painting, which speaks to a long history of Indigenous presence in Britain.

Apparently, before I bought them, Omi and Omai didn't have a proper rear view reference.

changed that tonight.

La National Portrait Gallery tiene que reunir 50 millones de libras en una campaña para comprar este ‘Retrato de Omai’, pintado por Joshua Reynolds ca. 1776.

Omai era un tahitiano que visitó Europa en 1744 con Thomas Cook.

Sería la adquisición pública más cara de UK.
