EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the esteemed figure of John of Lancaster, 1st Duke of Bedford. As the third surviving son of Henry IV, he played a crucial role in governing England as regent for his young nephew Henry VI from 1422 to 1437. In this profile portrait, we see a glimpse into the medieval world through the lens of S Harding's skilled engraving. John of Lancaster was not only a powerful ruler but also an influential patron of the arts. He commissioned numerous illuminated manuscripts, including the renowned Bedford Hours. These beautifully crafted books showcased his appreciation for intricate detail and artistic excellence. However, history remembers John for more than just his cultural contributions. He was an active participant in military campaigns against France and infamously presided over Joan of Arc's tragic fate - her burning at the stake in 1431. In this monochrome image, we witness John's noble demeanor and regal presence captured with remarkable precision by S Harding. The print allows us to connect with this Lancastrian duke from centuries past and offers a window into both his personal character and significant historical impact. As we delve into this fifteenth-century masterpiece created by S Harding, let us appreciate its ability to transport us back to an era defined by royalty, power struggles, artistic brilliance, and complex human stories that continue to captivate our imagination today.
