EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating portrait of Colonel Rowland Eyre (1600-72) of Hassop, painted by Robert Walker (1599-1658), is a remarkable depiction of a loyal supporter of King Charles I during the English Civil War. The oil on canvas print showcases Eyre in his full regalia, donning an impressive suit of armor and a striking red sash. Eyre's courageous spirit shines through as the painting captures him amidst the chaos and destruction that characterized this tumultuous period in history. His resolute gaze reflects his unwavering dedication to defending Newark Castle, which can be seen in the background along with the bridge over the river Trent. Notably, Eyre led a regiment of 160 horsemen at the pivotal Battle of Marston Moor on July 2nd, 1644. This significant event marked his commitment to upholding royalist ideals despite facing great adversity. It is worth mentioning that this exquisite portrait was erroneously attributed to Jervas (1675-1739) but has since been correctly credited to Robert Walker. The painting now resides within the esteemed Huddleston Collection at St. Edmunds College in Cambridge, UK. This stunning artwork serves as both a testament to Colonel Rowland Eyre's bravery and loyalty and as a poignant reminder of England's turbulent past during this era.
