EDITORS COMMENTS
This stipple engraving, titled "Admiral Blake" transports us back in time to the heroic era of English naval history. Created by Henry Perronet Briggs and based on a full-length portrait commissioned by Greenwich Hospital, this print immortalizes the legendary Robert Blake. Blake, an esteemed English naval and army officer, is depicted with great dignity and authority. His resolute gaze captures his unwavering determination and strategic brilliance that made him a formidable force during his lifetime (1599-1657). The artist's meticulous attention to detail brings out every nuance of Blake's character, from the lines etched on his weathered face to the intricate embellishments adorning his uniform. The skillful technique employed in this stipple engraving adds depth and texture to the image. Each delicate dot meticulously applied by Briggs conveys a sense of reverence for Admiral Blake's legacy. This print serves as a testament not only to Blake's military prowess but also to the artistic talent of Samuel Freeman who expertly translated the original painting into this exquisite work. Now part of a private collection, this remarkable piece allows us an intimate glimpse into history while paying homage to one of England's most celebrated naval heroes. As we admire this fine art print, let us remember Admiral Robert Blake for his indomitable spirit and significant contributions that forever shaped maritime warfare.
