Portrait of John B. Carmac, in Greek Evzone Costume, 1853 - A Glimpse into the Unconventional
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this portrait captured by Walter Gould in 1853, we are transported to a time when tradition and individuality intertwined. The subject of the painting, John B. Carmac, stands proudly donning an elaborate Greek Evzone costume that exudes both elegance and quirkiness. Carmac's attire is a testament to his appreciation for cultural heritage as he showcases the vibrant colors and intricate details of traditional Greek clothing. His uniform reflects his affiliation with the military while also embracing elements of fancy dress. With gaiters adorning his legs and a hat perched atop his head, Carmac embodies a unique blend of formality and playfulness. The setting adds further intrigue to this enigmatic portrait. Behind him, richly patterned curtains frame a divan where he sits comfortably amidst scientific instruments—a nod to education and intellectual pursuits. A hookah pipe rests nearby, hinting at moments of relaxation or contemplation. Gould masterfully captures Carmac mid-puff on his tobacco pipe; smoke gently billows around him as if frozen in time. Rosary beads dangle from his hand—an intriguing juxtaposition between religious devotion and unconventional fashion choices. This remarkable piece now resides within the Smithsonian American Art Museum's collection—serving as a window into nineteenth-century America's fascination with diverse cultures and its willingness to embrace unusual expressions of identity
