Description
This mid 18th century painting titled ‘The Bermuda Group (Dean Berkely and His Entourage)’ by John Smibert features the Bermuda Group set up by George Berkeley, philosopher and Anglican cleric, as part of an ambitious venture to found a seminary in Bermuda. Frustrated with the corrupt European civilization, George Berkeley believed that religious and cultural rebirth would be possible only in the New World, and was supported by his patron, John Wainwright, two additional wealthy supporters and Berkeley’s family members. However, the seminary project failed due to lack of funds, and Berkeley’s entourage returned to England.
