EDITORS COMMENTS
The Marquess de la Vieuville: A Nobleman of the English Civil War Era This evocative engraving, titled 'The Marquess de la Vieuville: Obit 1643,' is an enduring testament to the tumultuous era of the English Civil War. Created by renowned English engraver Richard Earlom in 1812, this image is taken from the comprehensive 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.' The Marquess de la Vieuville, Vincent, is depicted in this image as a somber and resolute figure, dressed in the opulent attire of the 17th century aristocracy. His noble bearing and regal attire are a stark contrast to the backdrop of the battlefield, a reminder of the volatile clash between the forces of the King and the Parliament during the First English Civil War. The Marquess de la Vieuville, a Frenchman by birth, was a prominent Royalist commander who fought valiantly in the Battle of Newbury in 1643. Tragically, he was one of the many casualties of the conflict, succumbing to his wounds shortly after the battle. His death was a significant loss for the Royalist forces, as he was a respected and capable leader. The image captures the essence of the era, with its intricate detailing of the Marquess's costume and the somber mood that pervades the scene. The contrast between the rich, ornate clothing of the aristocracy and the harsh realities of the battlefield underscores the complexities and contradictions of the time. This powerful and poignant portrait is a testament to the enduring legacy of the English Civil War and the indomitable spirit of those who lived through it.
