EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the dignified presence of Thomas Wriothesley, Earl of Southampton, a prominent English statesman during the 17th century. Created by H Robinson in the early-mid 19th century, this portrait is based on Sir Peter Lely's original painting which now belongs to The Duke of Bedford. Lord Wriothesley played a crucial role in supporting King Charles II and was rewarded with the position of Lord High Treasurer after the Restoration of the Monarchy in 1660. His loyalty to the crown earned him great respect and influence within British aristocracy. In this engraving, we see a man who exudes power and authority. With his regal attire adorned with the prestigious Order of the Garter, Lord Wriothesley represents an era when nobility held immense sway over political affairs. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth to this historical image, emphasizing its timeless quality. It serves as a window into both British history and portraiture techniques prevalent during that period. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back to a time when men like Thomas Wriothesley shaped nations through their unwavering dedication to monarchy and country. This artwork stands as a testament to his legacy as well as an enduring symbol of aristocratic grandeur in 17th-century England.
