EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century oil painting, titled "Cornelius Vanderbilt, 1846" showcases the influential American businessman in all his affluence and grandeur. Created by Nathaniel Jocelyn, this portrait captures Vanderbilt's commanding presence as he gazes directly at the camera with a direct gaze. Dressed in formal attire befitting his status, Vanderbilt exudes confidence and sophistication. His sideburns and facial hair add to his distinguished appearance, while his clothing reflects the fashion of the era. The artist skillfully uses color to bring out the richness of Vanderbilt's heritage and wealth. The painting not only portrays Cornelius Vanderbilt as an individual but also represents a significant period in American history. As one of America's most prominent businessmen during the 19th century, Vanderbilt played a pivotal role in shaping transportation systems such as railroads across the country. Displayed prominently within museums like the National Portrait Gallery and Smithsonian Institution, this artwork serves as a testament to both Jocelyn's artistic talent and Vanderbilt's lasting legacy. It offers viewers a glimpse into an era when industrialization was transforming America into an economic powerhouse. Without mentioning any commercial use or affiliation with any company bearing his name today, this print allows us to appreciate Cornelius Vanderbilt solely for his historical significance and contributions to society.
