"Cardinal Wolsey and the Duke of Buckingham", by John Gilbert, in the Gallery of the British Institution, 1862. Engraving of a painting. In his contribution to the British Institution Exhibition Mr. Gilbert produces an historical work of more importance, and of more ambitious aim than any that we recollect to have seen by his hand. The figures are more numerous than is usual with the artist, and the incident is one which gives occasion for a peculiar mode of treatment. The passage is that in the first scene of Shakspeare's "Henry VIII", in which the Dukes of Norfolk and Buckingham are interrupted in the midst of discontented discourse by the appearance of Cardinal Wolsey, preceded and surrounded by his state. The haughty, impetuous noble and the insolent and vindictive Churchman are thus brought into hostile contact, as described in the dialogue which ensues...Duke of Norfolk to Buckingham: "Lo! Where comes that rock, that I advise you shunning"...Buckinham: "This butcher's cur is venom-mouthed, and I have not the power to muzzle him...". From "Illustrated London News", 1862

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, created by the renowned English artist John Gilbert in 1862, depicts a pivotal moment in English history as portrayed in Shakespeare's "Henry VIII": the encounter between Cardinal Wolsey and the Duke of Buckingham. The scene, displayed in the Gallery of the British Institution, showcases the political tension and animosity between the powerful Churchman and the nobleman. Gilbert's masterful painting captures the essence of the dramatic exchange between the two characters. In the foreground, the Duke of Buckingham, portrayed as a haughty and impetuous noble, is engaged in a heated conversation with the Duke of Norfolk. Their discontented discourse is interrupted by the sudden appearance of Cardinal Wolsey, who enters the scene surrounded by his grand entourage. The Cardinal, depicted as an insolent and vindictive Churchman, confronts the nobles with his imposing presence. The dialogue that ensues between the three characters is vividly illustrated in the print, with Buckingham declaring, "This butcher's cur is venom-mouthed, and I have not the power to muzzle him." Gilbert's historical work, presented at the British Institution Exhibition, stands out for its grand scale and ambitious scope. The artist's meticulous attention to detail and his ability to convey the complex dynamics of power and politics make this painting a significant contribution to the annals of English art history.
