EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating portrait of Dr. Isaac Schomberg, painted by Thomas Hudson in the mid-18th century, offers a glimpse into the life and accomplishments of this esteemed medical practitioner. The oil on canvas print, measuring 75.2x62.9 cm, is housed at the Huntington Library, Art Museum, and Botanical Gardens in San Marino, CA. Dr. Isaac Schomberg was born in 1714 to Meyer Low Schomberg, also a physician. Educated at Merchant Taylors school and later Leyden University where he earned his doctorate in medicine, Dr. Schomberg's career was marked by a prolonged dispute with the College of Physicians. This oval-shaped Georgian portrait showcases Dr. Schomberg as an authoritative figure with his powdered wig and grey coat exuding sophistication and professionalism. His half-length pose commands attention while reflecting his dedication to healing others. What makes this portrait particularly intriguing is Dr. Schomberg's personal journey from being raised Jewish to ultimately converting to Anglicanism—a decision that likely played a role in his conflict with the College of Physicians. Thomas Hudson masterfully captures both the external appearance and inner strength of this remarkable individual through meticulous brushwork and attention to detail. As we gaze upon this painting today, we are reminded not only of Dr. Isaac Schomberg's contributions as a medical pioneer but also of his resilience amidst adversity—a testament to human determination and pursuit of one's true calling.
