Thomas Cromwell, Earl of Essex - Obit 1540
EDITORS COMMENTS
is an exquisite 19th-century print depicting Thomas Cromwell, a pivotal figure in British history during the Tudor period. The portrait was created by renowned English engravers John Bulfinch and Richard Earlom, as part of 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." Cromwell, who served as Lord Great Chamberlain, was a powerful and influential politician during the reign of King Henry VIII. He played a significant role in the English Reformation, advocating for religious reforms and implementing policies that shaped England's future. The print captures Cromwell in aristocratic attire, wearing a cap with a distinctive black and white design, typical of the 16th century. The black and white color palette adds to the print's antique charm, transporting us back in time. The portrait bears a striking resemblance to the famous painting of Thomas Cromwell by Hans Holbein the Younger, which is believed to have been created around the same period. Cromwell's headdress, or hennin, is a prominent feature of the print, adding to its historical significance. The print also highlights Cromwell's stern expression, reflecting his political acumen and determination. This print is an essential addition to any collection focusing on British history, Tudor fashion, or the lives of influential political figures. It offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the rich tapestry of history and the people who shaped it.
