EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, created by the renowned Dutch artist Jacobus Houbraken, depicts Henry Howard, Earl of Surrey (1517-1547), an aristocrat of British heritage who lived during the 16th and 18th centuries. The oval-shaped print, which showcases the aristocrat's striking features, was likely produced in the 18th century. Henry Howard, a poet and nobleman, was beheaded for treason in England in 1547. This image, however, does not capture the tragic end of his life. Instead, it presents a regal and dignified portrait of the Earl, dressed in the finery of his time. The intricate details of his clothing and the subtle shading in the engraving highlight the artist's mastery of his craft. The print, now a part of the vast collection at the Art Institute of Chicago, is a testament to the rich heritage of art and the enduring legacy of the subjects it portrays. The image invites us to reflect on the complexities of the past, as well as the timeless allure of portraiture. Despite the passage of centuries, the engraving continues to captivate and inspire, serving as a reminder of the enduring power of art to transport us to another time and place. Whether you are a historian, an art enthusiast, or simply someone intrigued by the past, this hauntingly beautiful image of Henry Howard, Earl of Surrey, is sure to leave a lasting impression.
