EDITORS COMMENTS
This copperplate engraving showcases the esteemed Robert Devereux, 2nd Earl of Essex, who was a cherished favorite of Queen Elizabeth I. The portrait captures his regal presence and noble stature as he dons an intricate lace collar, a resplendent suit of armor, and a distinguished sash. Created by Pieter Stevens van Gunst after Adriaen van der Werff's original work, this print is part of Isaac de Larrey's renowned "Histoire d'Angleterre, d'Ecosse et d'Irlande" published in Amsterdam in 1730. The attention to detail in this engraving is impeccable; every line and stroke beautifully accentuates the subject's features and attire. Devereux exudes confidence and power through his commanding gaze and poised demeanor. The delicate lace collar adds an element of elegance to his formidable armor, symbolizing both strength and refinement. Surrounded by ornate foliage bordering the image, this artwork transports us back to the vibrant tapestry of European history during the 18th century. It serves as a testament to Devereux's significant role within Elizabethan England as well as his enduring legacy. This remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate not only the artistic skill involved but also provides insight into one of history's most intriguing figures. As we admire this portrait print today, we are reminded of Robert Devereux's lasting impact on English society during an era defined by political intrigue and cultural splendor.
