EDITORS COMMENTS
In this portrait, we witness a momentous occasion as Thomas Howard, the 14th Earl of Arundel, is presented with arms by his adoring children. Painted by Philip Fruytiers in the 17th century, this oil on copper masterpiece captures the essence of aristocracy and family bonds. Standing proudly in his regal attire, Thomas Howard exudes authority and power. Surrounding him are his wife Aletheia Talbot and their children, each eagerly offering symbolic gifts to mark their father's appointment to lead the army against Scotland in 1639. The smallest boy, William Howard, presents a Pageant Shield while other children hold a Flodden helmet and sword. The room itself is adorned with portraits of notable figures from history – the poet Arundel and the 3rd Duke of Norfolk – adding an air of prestige to this scene. A dog rests at Thomas Howard's feet, symbolizing loyalty and companionship. This painting not only showcases familial love but also highlights Thomas Howard's role as an art collector and politician. It is interesting to note that originally van Dyck was intended to paint this portrait; however, circumstances prevented its realization. Through Fruytiers' skilled brushwork and attention to detail, we are transported back in time to witness a significant moment in history - one that celebrates both familial pride and noble responsibilities.
