EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Sir John Backhouse, an influential English landowner and politician from the 16th century. Standing tall next to a remarkable painting of the New River Company reservoir on his property in Islington, Sir John exudes power and prestige. The oil on canvas portrait, created in 1637 by VM, beautifully captures his regal presence. Sir John is adorned with the distinguished badge of the Order of Bath, symbolizing his high status within society. His well-groomed beard and goatee add to his refined appearance, while a fashionable collar frames his face elegantly. This portrait not only portrays Sir John as a man of wealth but also highlights his allegiance as a royalist during this tumultuous period in English history. The vibrant red ribbon attached to the medal drapes gracefully over Sir John's chest, drawing attention to both its significance and grandeur. The composition cleverly juxtaposes this noble figure against the backdrop of the impressive reservoir painting—a testament to Sir John's achievements as a landowner. Granger Art on Demand has masterfully captured this historical moment through their meticulous reproduction of this artwork by Granger NYC/The Granger Collection. This print serves as a timeless reminder of Sir John Backhouse's influence and contributions that have left an indelible mark on English politics and society at large.
