EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enigmatic figure of Sir P. Sidney, a prominent English poet, courtier, scholar, and soldier of the Elizabethan age. The image showcases a direct gaze from Sir Sidney as he stands confidently in his elegant attire, reflecting the aristocratic fashion of the 16th century. Sir Philip Sidney's remarkable life is briefly outlined in this portrait. Educated at Christ Church, Oxford, he was not only an influential figure in literature but also played a significant role in political negotiations during his time. In 1572, he was entrusted with the delicate task of negotiating a marriage between Queen Elizabeth I and Duc D'Alencon. However, it was on the battlefield where Sir Sidney met his tragic fate. During the Battle of Zutphen in 1586, he sustained a gunshot wound to his thigh which ultimately led to his untimely demise due to gangrene after 26 days. The engraving comes from "Biographical Illustrations" by Alfred Howard published in 1830 by Thomas Tegg and Richard Griffin & Co. , offering us a glimpse into both history and artistry from that era. This print serves as a testament to Sir Philip Sidney's enduring legacy as one of England's most celebrated literary figures while also shedding light on his contributions as an esteemed diplomat and valiant soldier.
