"Robert Devereux, 2nd Earl of Essex: The Beloved Favourite of Queen Elizabeth I" Step into the captivating world of Robert Devereux, the 2nd Earl of Essex. A man who held a special place in the heart of Queen Elizabeth I, he was known for his charm and charisma. In this copperplate engraving by Pieter Stevens van Gunst after Adriaen van der Werff from Isaac de Larrey's work, we see him donning an exquisite lace collar and a suit of armor with a sash. Another stunning portrayal is captured in oil on panel by an unknown artist in 1597. Here, Robert d'Evreux, Comte d'Essex stands tall and proud. His striking presence commands attention as he gazes confidently at the viewer. As an English soldier and favored companion to Queen Elizabeth I, Robert Devereux left an indelible mark on history. An engraving depicts him engaged in a significant meeting with Hugh O'Neill, Earl of Tyrone in 1599. This encounter holds immense importance as it shaped political alliances during that time. The vellum portrait framed with tortoiseshell and gold mount showcases his regal stature. Created between 1600-1700, it captures his essence perfectly - noble yet enigmatic. Various artists have attempted to capture his likeness throughout history; one such example is Marcus Gheeraerts' studio piece from around 1596-1601. The intricate details highlight his refined features and aristocratic air. Intriguingly enough, there are also depictions where the creator remains unknown but still manage to convey Robert Devereux's essence effectively – like the c1596-1601 artwork discovered in 1944 or another dating back to 1830. Lastly, we cannot forget the infamous moment when Queen Elizabeth herself struck her beloved earl during a heated confrontation in 1773.
