Ferdinand, Lord Fairfax, General (Obit 1648),
EDITORS COMMENTS
is an engraving from the collection "Portraits of characters illustrious in British History from the beginning of the reign of Henry the Eighth to the end of the reign of James the Second," published in London in 1815 by Samuel Woodburn. The portrait depicts Ferdinando Fairfax, 2nd Lord Fairfax of Cameron (1584-1648), a prominent figure in the English Civil War. Lord Fairfax, dressed in the fashion of the 17th century aristocracy, is depicted in a solemn and serious manner, wearing a black and white attire, typical of the mourning period following his death. The print captures the essence of the English Civil War era, with its political and military undertones. Fairfax was a prominent Parliamentarian commander during the First English Civil War, leading the Royalists' defeat at the Battle of Marston Moor in 1644. He was a key figure in the Parliamentarian victory and played a significant role in the execution of King Charles I in 1649. The portrait reflects the concept of the aristocracy and nobility during this period, with Lord Fairfax depicted as a distinguished and respected military and political leader. The image also highlights the fashion trends of the time, with the round collars and voluminous sleeves that were popular among the nobility. The print serves as a reminder of the political and military turmoil that engulfed England during the 17th century and the significant role played by individuals such as Lord Fairfax in shaping the country's history. The unknown artist's skillful use of black and white tones adds depth and texture to the portrait, making it a valuable historical document and an intriguing piece of art.
