EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century engraving showcases the esteemed figure of Robert Devereux, Count of Essex. A prominent English general and a favorite of Queen Elisabeth Iere, Devereux's portrait exudes an air of aristocracy and power. The unknown artist skillfully captures his commanding presence, emphasizing his role as a key player in English society during the 16th century. Dressed in elaborate period costume, Devereux stands tall with confidence and poise. His strawberry collerette adds a touch of elegance to his attire, symbolizing his high status within the British aristocracy. Every detail is meticulously engraved, allowing viewers to appreciate the intricate craftsmanship that went into this artwork. However, behind this grandeur lies a complex narrative filled with political intrigue and betrayal. Known for his involvement in treasonous activities against the crown, Devereux's life was marked by both triumphs and tragedies. This print serves as a reminder of the tumultuous times he lived through and sheds light on an important chapter in British history. Preserved within a private collection today, this engraving offers us a glimpse into the past – capturing not only Devereux's likeness but also providing valuable insights into the social dynamics and cultural norms prevalent during that era. Giancarlo Costa has expertly brought this historical gem back to life through meticulous restoration work while ensuring its availability for public appreciation without any commercial intent.
