EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait depicts Sir Thomas Gresham (1519-1579), a prominent merchant and financial agent of the English crown in the Netherlands, alongside his wife Anne Fernely (dates unknown), painted between 1560 and 1565 by the renowned Flemish artist Antonis Mor. Gresham's impressive career saw him not only as a successful businessman but also as the founder of the Royal Exchange and Gresham College in London. The portrait showcases the couple seated in a grand, ornate setting, with Sir Thomas dressed in a black coat and a hat adorned with a white feather, while Anne is depicted in a richly textured, dark gown. The use of black as the dominant color in the painting adds an air of sophistication and solemnity to the scene. The couple's attire reflects the fashion of the time, with intricate details such as ruff collars and voluminous sleeves. The painting is an oil on panel work, demonstrating Mor's exceptional skill in capturing the likenesses and personalities of his subjects. The couple's poses, their expressions, and the meticulously rendered furnishings all contribute to the overall sense of wealth and status. This portrait is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the Low Countries during the 16th century and offers a glimpse into the lives of influential figures during this period. It is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, where it continues to captivate audiences and inspire admiration for its artistic merit and historical significance.
