EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "A Young Man Leaning Against a Tree Among Roses" by Nicholas Hilliard transports us back to the Elizabethan era. The image showcases a young man, possibly Robert Devereux, 2nd Earl of Essex, leaning casually against a tree adorned with beautiful roses. The bodycolour on vellum technique used in this artwork adds an exquisite touch to the overall composition. The delicate brushstrokes and vibrant colors bring life to every detail, from the intricate patterns on his clothing to the lush petals of the roses surrounding him. The young man's attire reflects Queen Elizabeth I's colors of black and white, while his motto "Dat poenas laudata fides" translates to "Praised faith gives wounds (or pains)". This enigmatic phrase adds depth and intrigue to his character. Displayed at the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, this portrait captures both the elegance and complexity of its subject. It serves as a testament to Hilliard's exceptional talent as one of England's most renowned miniaturists during that period. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported into an era filled with courtly romance and poetic charm. It is a reminder that art has the power not only to capture history but also evoke emotions and transport us across time.
