EDITORS COMMENTS
In this portrait, we are introduced to Sir Francis Godolphin, a prominent figure in English history. Painted by Janssen van Ceulen in 1633, the oil on canvas print showcases the elegance and grandeur of the era. Sir Francis Godolphin stands tall and proud, his commanding presence emphasized by his elaborate lace collar. As a cavalier and loyal royalist from Cornwall, he played an important role during the tumultuous times of political unrest in England. Not only was Sir Francis known for his unwavering support of Charles II, but he also held a significant position as the dedicatee of Thomas Hobbes' influential work "Leviathan". This connection further solidifies his importance within intellectual circles. The artist skillfully captures every intricate detail of Sir Francis's features - from his distinguished facial hair to his piercing gaze. The play of light and shadow adds depth to the painting, enhancing its overall impact. This remarkable piece is housed at Yale Center for British Art as part of their esteemed Paul Mellon Collection. Its historical significance cannot be understated; it offers us a glimpse into one man's life during a pivotal period in English history. As we admire this portrait print today, we are reminded not only of Sir Francis Godolphin's individual achievements but also of the rich tapestry that makes up our collective past.
