I dag hører Adrian Benjamin Bentzon (1777–1827) til blant de glemte bergenserne. Men for dem som møtte ham, gjorde han et uutslettelig inntrykk. Ved Bergen Katedralskole var han ener – det samme i København, der han markerte seg både som student og som del av den radikale bevegelsen vi i dag kaller «romantikken».
Bentzon var først og fremst jurist, og allerede som 22-åring ble han sendt til St. Croix som regjeringsråd. Der tilbrakte han mesteparten av sitt voksne liv, og fra 1815 virket han som generalguvernør for Dansk Vestindia. I mellomtiden giftet han seg med Magdalen, datteren til Amerikas rikeste mann, John Jacob Astor. Under britenes kontroll av koloniene hadde Bentzon base hos svigerfamilien på Manhattan, og herfra reiste han hyppig til europeiske hoff som en slags privat diplomat på vegne av svigerfaren.
Fra Korskirken til St. Croix, New York og St. Petersburg – Bentzon var en mann som reiste verden rundt som knapt noen annen bergenser, og som opplevde en rikdom få kunne drømme om. I dette foredraget ser vi nærmere på hans liv og de mange temaene det berører: Bergen på slutten av 1700-tallet, tidens nye ideer om folkekarakter og historie, og ikke minst den nye verden med kolonier, slavehandel og slavesamfunn – rammen om store deler av Bentzons liv.
Baard Olav Skogrand er idéhistoriker og førstekonservator ved Bymuseet i Bergen.
