EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait print showcases William Paget, a prominent figure in English history during the 16th century. As an esteemed statesman and diplomat, Paget served as a trusted adviser to two influential monarchs - Henry VIII and Edward VI. The image captures his dignified presence, wearing a jewel adorned with the symbol of St George, representing his affiliation with the prestigious Order of the Garter. The artist behind this masterpiece is believed to be none other than the enigmatic Master of the Statthalterin Madonna. This attribution adds an air of mystery and intrigue to an already remarkable piece. Paget's role as Comptroller of the Household under Edward VI further solidifies his importance within Tudor politics. His expertise and loyalty were highly valued by both kings he served. In this portrait, we witness not only Paget's outward appearance but also glimpse into his character - intelligent, sophisticated, and deeply committed to serving his country. The print serves as a testament to Paget's enduring legacy as one of England's most influential figures during a transformative era. As we admire this striking image today, let us remember William Paget for his significant contributions to British history and diplomacy that continue to resonate centuries later.
