EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait depicts Edward Wetenhall (1632-1714), an influential figure in Anglican and Church of Ireland history. Wetenhall served as the Bishop of Cork from 1678 and later became the Bishop of Kilmore, Kilkenny, and Ardagh in 1699. The image, created by Robert Dunkarton in 1813, is taken from the collection "Portraits of characters illustrious in British History from the beginning of the reign of Henry the Eighth to the end of the reign of James the Second" published in London in 1815. Wetenhall is shown wearing the traditional attire of a bishop during the 17th and 18th centuries. He wears a long, flowing cassock, which is typically worn by Catholic and Anglican bishops, as well as a white surplice and a black robe with a red velvet border. The bishop's mitre, a tall, pointed hat symbolizing his ecclesiastical authority, sits atop his head. The portrait is a testament to the fashion and clothing trends of the time, with the black and white color palette reflecting the monochromatic aesthetic popular during the early 19th century. The image also provides a glimpse into the lives of the clergy during this period, offering a glimpse into the religious and cultural milieu of Britain and Ireland during the late 17th and early 18th centuries. Robert Dunkarton, the artist, skillfully captures the essence of Wetenhall's character and dignity, making this portrait a valuable addition to any collection of historical portraits or those focused on religious figures.
