EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the esteemed figure of George Clifford, the 3rd Earl of Cumberland. Painted by Nicholas Hilliard, a renowned artist of his time, this portrait captures the essence and grandeur of one of England's most influential historical figures. George Clifford is depicted in full regalia, exuding an air of authority and nobility. As the first governor of the East India Company, he played a pivotal role in shaping British colonialism and trade with the East Indies. However, it is not just his political achievements that make him noteworthy; George Clifford was also an accomplished jouster. The image portrays him as a fearless knight ready for battle. His armor shines brightly under Hilliard's masterful brushstrokes while his determined gaze hints at his unwavering commitment to defending England against its enemies. Notably, he fought valiantly against the Spanish Armada during their ill-fated invasion attempt. Beyond his military prowess and political influence, George Clifford held another prestigious title – Queen's Champion. This honor bestowed upon him by Queen Elizabeth I further emphasizes his importance within English society during this period. Bridgeman Images has expertly captured every intricate detail in this miniature masterpiece from Fine Art Finder collection. With its rich history and remarkable subject matter, this print serves as a testament to both George Clifford's legacy and Hilliard's artistic brilliance
