  • Beaucoup de portraits de Charles Darwin sont connus. Les premiers sont dessinés ou peints, tandis que les portraits ultérieurs sont plutôt des photographies monochromes. Après la publication de L'Origine des espèces en 1859 et la diffusion de la controverse qui s'est ensuivie, Darwin a également été l'objet de nombreuses caricatures. Selon Gene Kritsky, spécialiste du sujet, il y aurait au moins 53 portraits photographiques recensés de Darwin. (fr)
  • There are many known portraits of Charles Darwin. Darwin came from a wealthy family and became a well-known naturalist and author, and portraits were made of him in childhood, adulthood and old age. Darwin's life (1809–1882) spanned the development of photography, and early portraits of Darwin are drawn or painted, while many later portraits are monochrome photographs. After the publication and dissemination of the controversial On the Origin of Species in 1859, Darwin was also the subject of numerous caricatures. Darwin's visage, particularly his iconic beard, continues to be culturally significant and widely recognisable into the 21st century. According to historian Janet Browne, Darwin's capacity to commission photographs of himself—and their widespread reproduction as carte de visite and cabinet card photographs—helped to cement the lasting connection between Darwin and the theory of evolution in popular thought (largely to the exclusion of the many others who also contributed to the development of evolutionary theory), especially as these portraits were reinterpreted in caricature. At that time few could afford to commission portrait photographs, and this gave Darwin an advantage in gaining public recognition. Especially in his last decades as his illness progressed, Darwin expressed frustration about sitting for photographs. He turned down an opportunity in 1869 to sit for a portrait with Alfred Russel Wallace, explaining that sitting for photographs "is what I hate doing & wastes a whole day owing to my weak health; and to sit with another person would cause still more trouble & delay." Nevertheless, there are at least 53 known photographs of Darwin, according to , a scholar of Darwin photos. (en)
  • 达尔文肖像列表列出查尔斯·达尔文（1809–1882）的历年肖像。达尔文出身富裕家庭，是著名的博物学，出版過多种重要著作，自童年、成年和晚年都有肖像留下。达尔文早年肖像为粉笔画或彩画，晚年肖像为黑白相片。1859年当时非常有争议的《物种起源》出版和广为传播之后，达尔文成为无数讽刺画的嘲讽对象。 达尔文的容貌，尤其是其标志性胡子，直到21世纪依然有重要文化意义和有辨识度。根据历史学家珍妮特·布朗的说法，达尔文授权了大量自己的肖像供人使用，这些肖像被广泛制作为橱柜像和，这有助于在大众中强化达尔文与进化论二者之间的联系，原因在于其他为进化论发展做出贡献的人被排除在肖像之外，特别是这些肖像又被讽刺画重新解读。在19世纪，大部分科学家还不能像达尔文那样有财力拍摄照片。。 在达尔文生命的最后十年，随着病情恶化，他对坐着拍照感到厌倦。1869年，他婉拒了一次与阿尔弗雷德·拉塞尔·华莱士一起坐着拍照的机会，达尔文解释说，坐着拍照“是平生最厌恶的事情，与他人一起坐着拍照只会带来更多麻烦和耽误时间”。但是，据达尔文肖像专家基因·克里茨基（Gene Kritsky）的说法，达尔文至少留下53张照。 (zh)
