EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the distinguished figure of Arthur Capel, the Earl of Essex. Engraved by talented artists Edward Luttrell and John Smith, this mezzotint perfectly captures the essence of a nobleman from the 17th century. The portrait is based on an original painting by renowned artist Peter Lely. Arthur Capel exudes an air of authority and sophistication in this image. His regal attire, complete with a ruffled collar and ornate coat, reflects his high social status as a member of the aristocracy. As Lord Lieutenant of Hertfordshire, he held significant power and influence during his time. The meticulous detail in this print highlights the skillful craftsmanship employed by Luttrell and Smith. Every line etched into the metal plate brings out subtle nuances in Capel's facial features, capturing both his strength and vulnerability. Displayed at Yale Center for British Art as part of their esteemed Paul Mellon Collection, this artwork serves as a window into history. It offers viewers a glimpse into the world of English nobility during an era marked by political intrigue and cultural refinement. As we admire this remarkable portrait today, we are reminded not only of Arthur Capel's individuality but also how art can immortalize figures who have shaped our past.
