EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait print showcases Sir Thomas Gresham, a prominent figure in the court of Queen Elizabeth I. Painted by Antonio Mor and published in 1825, this exquisite piece captures the essence of Gresham's character and influence during his time. Sir Thomas Gresham was not only Elizabeth I's chief financial advisor but also held the prestigious position of Keeper of the Privy Purse. Known for his entrepreneurial spirit, he founded the iconic Royal Exchange, which became a symbol of London's commercial success. In this portrait, Gresham is depicted as an elegant and distinguished gentleman. His costume reflects the fashion trends of the 16th century with its intricate details such as cuffs and ruff collar. The presence of a grasshopper emblem on his hat signifies his affiliation with trade and commerce. Gresham's well-groomed beard and mustache add to his air of sophistication, while his piercing gaze reveals intelligence and shrewdness. At just forty years old at the time this painting was created, he exudes confidence befitting an accomplished merchant adventurer. This remarkable artwork offers us a glimpse into Elizabethan England through one man's influential role in shaping its economic landscape. It serves as a testament to Sir Thomas Gresham's legacy as both an ambassador for England abroad and a visionary entrepreneur at home.
