EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite watercolour portrait captures the essence of Robert Devereux, 2nd Earl of Essex, in all his noble splendor. Painted by Nicholas Hilliard or a member of the Oliver School in the late 16th century, this small yet detailed artwork showcases the intricate ruff clothing and elaborate costume typical of the Tudor period.
The Earl of Essex gazes confidently at the viewer, his masculine features exuding an air of aristocratic elegance. The vibrant colors used in this piece bring to life the fashion trends of the time, making him appear both fashionable and regal.
The inscription on the reverse confirms his identity as "Robt Devarex Earl of Essex," adding historical significance to this already remarkable portrait. This work is housed at the National Maritime Museum in London, where it serves as a testament to a bygone era when nobility and artistry intertwined seamlessly.
As we admire this stunning depiction of one man from centuries past, we are reminded of the enduring power that art holds to capture not just physical likeness but also personality and presence. Robert Devereux may have lived long ago, but through this painting, his legacy lives on for generations to come.
