The other five are in: Tate, Science Museum (signed), Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool, Public Art Gallery, Huddersfield, Hebrew University, Jerusalem. Albert Einstein (1879-1955), the brilliant theoretical physicist and Nobel Prize winner was staying at an army camp near Cromer, Norfolk, as a refugee, when he sat for this portrait in September 1933. This six hour modeling session took place in rather extraordinary surroundings - a room almost filled by a grand piano in a beach hut at Roughton Heath, near Cromer. Einstein was the guest of the journalist and MP, Commander Locker-Lampson, who had persuaded him to come to England from Belgium, where he had been living since Hitler came to power in Germany. Epstein stayed at the Royal Cromer Hotel, and for three days went to the hut for a two-hour sitting. Einstein smoked a pipe, and after the sitting played the piano or the violin. Epstein was immediately attracted to his sitter, who had flying hair, casual dress, and a glance which he described as humane, humorous and profound. Although the portrait was modeled in just six hours and left incomplete, it is considered an excellent likeness, having captured Einstein’s humane, humorous and profound glance, and his ‘wild hair floating in the wind’. Epstein’s rugged execution gives it an informality which was equally characteristic of the sitter. Its rich impasto modeling recalls the work of Rembrandt, perhaps deliberately since Epstein believed that Einstein ‘resembled the ageing Rembrandt’. See a letter in the object's file from Lady Jeans regarding its excellent likeness. reference term-107749 adlib-term-107749 e089b122-3c61-3b88-a645-624a4a54e267 1930s reference term-120066 adlib-term-120066 7d68b404-6003-3715-bdce-af5ba4e8f5a3 20th Century, second quarter reference term-107684 adlib-term-107684 d54f530a-3bb0-3a32-a207-4cf77fb9ccf8 George V reference term-107139 adlib-term-107139 9fd5ef13-3709-388f-b925-702787340e32 literal England England country England reference term-40365 adlib-term-40365 d79c75c2-da7b-3187-918e-f7a374e04005 bronze reference media-183316 adlib-media-183316 048277c2-8bd7-3a74-8b59-58031bf764fc jpeg aa/aa29/M_7_1933_1_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 1024 width pixels 717 1616238962185 1 image jpeg aa/aa29/mid_M_7_1933_1_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 714 width pixels 500 1616238962185 1 image jpeg aa/aa29/M_7_1933_1_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 1024 width pixels 717 1616238962185 1 image jpeg aa/aa29/preview_M_7_1933_1_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 357 width pixels 250 1616238962185 1 image 0 media image reference media-183317 adlib-media-183317 26a0bfab-5cc6-3bfe-961b-1bb7618cb977 jpeg aa/aa29/M_7_1933_2_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 1024 width pixels 743 1616245661383 1 image jpeg aa/aa29/mid_M_7_1933_2_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 689 width pixels 500 1616245661383 1 image jpeg aa/aa29/M_7_1933_2_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 1024 width pixels 743 1616245661383 1 image jpeg aa/aa29/preview_M_7_1933_2_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 345 width pixels 250 1616245661383 1 image 1 media image reference media-206829 adlib-media-206829 a8eab721-69d5-32a0-9918-22a7d3914964 jpeg aa/aa37/M_7_1933_3_201011_amt49_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 1025 width pixels 712 1616271268366 1 image jpeg aa/aa37/mid_M_7_1933_3_201011_amt49_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 720 width pixels 500 1616271268366 1 image jpeg aa/aa37/M_7_1933_3_201011_amt49_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 1025 width pixels 712 1616271268366 1 image jpeg aa/aa37/preview_M_7_1933_3_201011_amt49_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 360 width pixels 250 1616271268366 1 image 2 media image reference media-206830 adlib-media-206830 9334acc0-0eee-3972-ae26-ada81f72140f jpeg aa/aa37/M_7_1933_4_201011_amt49_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 1025 width pixels 745 1616266985965 1 image jpeg aa/aa37/mid_M_7_1933_4_201011_amt49_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 688 width pixels 500 1616266985965 1 image jpeg aa/aa37/M_7_1933_4_201011_amt49_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 1025 width pixels 745 1616266985965 1 image jpeg aa/aa37/preview_M_7_1933_4_201011_amt49_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 344 width pixels 250 1616266985965 1 image 3 media image reference media-206831 adlib-media-206831 be0e06a8-26f2-3333-8c37-7c52331d2de4 jpeg aa/aa37/large_M_7_1933_5_201011_amt49_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 692 width pixels 1024 1616275298255 1 image jpeg aa/aa37/mid_M_7_1933_5_201011_amt49_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 338 width pixels 500 1616275298255 1 image jpeg aa/aa37/M_7_1933_5_201011_amt49_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 693 width pixels 1025 1616275298255 1 image jpeg aa/aa37/preview_M_7_1933_5_201011_amt49_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 169 width pixels 250 1616275298255 1 image 4 media image reference term-107683 adlib-term-107683 9cdf19fa-4af7-3ca3-b180-580dfffebdc0 head history note Bought from Messrs.
