EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait print showcases the esteemed Cardinal Thomas Wolsey, a prominent statesman and advisor to King Henry VIII. Painted by Sampson Strong in the 16th century, this oil on panel artwork measures 89.5x89.5 cm and is housed at Magdalen College in Oxford, UK. Wolsey's profile exudes authority and wisdom as he dons his distinguished hat and lord chancellor robes. As a clergyman of great influence, he founded Cardinals College (later renamed Christ Church College) at the University of Oxford, an accomplishment commemorated in this image. The painting depicts Wolsey in a half-length pose with a scroll held firmly in his hand, symbolizing his role as both founder and prelate. His benevolent expression suggests not only his dedication to education but also his commitment to serving others. Dressed in traditional Tudor attire, Wolsey represents the essence of the 16th century with its intricate robes and regal aesthetic. This portrait captures the essence of an era marked by political intrigue and religious reform. With an air of solemnity surrounding him, Cardinal Thomas Wolsey blesses viewers through this timeless masterpiece. The artist's skillful brushwork brings forth every detail of this historical figure who left an indelible mark on British history.
