Sachin Tendulkar joins Kapil Dev and others in Lord’s portrait legacy, but with a big difference
Artist Stuart Pearson Wright created by the work of art is currently exhibited in the museum, but later this year will be moved to the pavilion.
Tendulkar, who was considered one of the biggest doughs in the history of jack, had an international career that lasted 24 years from 1989 to 2013. During this period, the test matches scored one -day international and T20 International’s 34,357 running for India. This figure is more than 6,000 running in front of Sangakkara, the next highest striker Kumar Sangakkara, which ended with 28.016 runs.
The portrait was painted from a photo taken by Pearson Wright at Tendulkar’s house in Mumbai 18 years ago. As the painting process developed, the artist’s technique developed. The last piece was created in fat on worn aluminum. The abstract background was chosen to describe the untimely existence of Tendulkar, free from the restrictions of ERA or location.
This portrait is now the fifth of an Indian player who is involved in the collections of MCC. Four of these – Capil giant, Bishan Singh Bedi, Dilip Vengsarkar and now Tearson Wright were painted by Tendulkar. Although previous portraits are full length, Tendulkar is different: a greater appearance of his head and shoulders than life.
The thirty -year -old portrait program of the Lord in the current form of the McC is followed by the roots of the roots that the cricket began to collect art and works. The MCC Museum, founded in the 1950s, has a distinction between Europe’s oldest sports museum. The long room gallery continues to be one of the most iconic gallery areas in sports. Currently, the club is home to approximately 3,000 paintings, portraits of approximately 300. Sachin Tendulkar said: “This is a great honor. When he won the Indian World Cup, the first introduction of the Cup, Pongetthimle, Pongetthimle, so far, the capilic movement, today I think of porultum.
Stuart Pearson Wright said: “It was clear that MCC did not want this portrait to be in the same format as the previous Indian cricket portraits, so a new approach was taken with it.
“Instead of painting an interpretation of an internal or outer gap, I often drew a portrait with a flat color. To focus on the characteristics of the subject to a great extent and minimize a context that can define the subject somehow.”
Charlotte Goodhew, MCC collections and program manager said: uz We are proud to continue to improve our portrait collection in Lord, and as Sachin Tendulkar, it is great to add such a transcendental figure to the names of famous issues for our paintings. The chance to see thousands of cricket fans. ”
