About this artwork

'An Experiment on a Bird in the Air Pump' is the most daring and theatrical of Joseph Wright's candlelit paintings from the 1760s. This artwork encapsulates a group of people gathered around a lecturer, engrossed in a choreographed scientific experiment. Wright intricately highlights the different reactions of the viewers, from a girl who can't bear to watch, to a couple lost in each other's eyes. This reproduction is color-accurate to the original, with approval from the National Gallery. Every purchase aids the operations of the museum.

About the artist

Known as Joseph Wright of Derby, Joseph Wright ARA (3 September 1734 – 29 August 1797) was a well known English artist famed for his landscape and portrait works. He's often hailed as "the first professional artist to capture the essence of the Industrial Revolution."

Wright is well-known for employing tenebrism, a heightened version of the more familiar chiaroscuro technique, which plays up the contrast between light and dark. He's also well-famed for his masterpieces featuring subjects illuminated by candlelight.
