EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases William Cecil, 1st Baron Burghley, an influential English statesman of the 16th century. The steel engraving, created in 1849 by an English artist after a painting attributed to Marcus Gheeraerts the Younger from around 1585, beautifully captures the essence of this noble man. In the image, we see Lord Burghley donning a distinguished ruff collar and a stylish hat that adds an air of sophistication to his appearance. His well-groomed beard further accentuates his regal countenance. As one of Queen Elizabeth I's most trusted advisors and Chief Minister for nearly forty years, Cecil played a pivotal role in shaping England's political landscape during the Renaissance period. The attention to detail in this print is remarkable; every line etched into the steel engraving brings out Lord Burghley's commanding presence. It serves as a testament to both the skill of the artist who created it and the historical significance of its subject matter. Whether you are fascinated by English history or simply appreciate fine artistry, this print is sure to captivate your imagination. Display it proudly on your wall or use it as a conversation starter among friends and family. This Granger Collection piece offers us a glimpse into an era long gone but forever preserved through art.
