EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the esteemed John Lydgate, a prominent figure in English literature during the 14th and 15th centuries. The engraving, created by an anonymous English artist from the 18th century, beautifully captures Lydgate's dignified presence. Lydgate was not only an accomplished poet but also a Benedictine monk and prior. His contributions to literature were vast, as he penned numerous works that encompassed various genres such as poetry, drama, and historical writing. His most notable piece is "The Troy Book" which recounts the legendary Trojan War. In this portrait, we see Lydgate exuding wisdom and intelligence through his piercing gaze. The fine details of his facial features are expertly captured by the skilled engraver. This image offers us a glimpse into the world of one of England's literary greats. Displayed in a private collection today, this photograph serves as a reminder of Lydgate's significant impact on English literature. It invites us to delve into his writings and explore the rich tapestry of stories he has left behind for future generations to enjoy.
