EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait print showcases Gervase Babington, an influential English churchman of the late 16th century. Serving as Bishop of Llandaff in 1591, Exeter in 1595, and Worcester in 1597, Babington played a significant role within the Anglican Church during a time of religious upheaval. The three-quarter length depiction captures his dignified presence as he holds a book, symbolizing his deep commitment to Christian faith and scholarship. Created by Reginald Estracke around 1620 using copperplate engraving techniques, this artwork beautifully preserves the essence of Babington's character. His striking beard and ruff collar reflect the fashion trends of the era while adding an air of authority to his image. With hands firmly grasping the book before him, it is evident that knowledge and wisdom were central to Babington's life and work. Notably recognized for his expertise in Welsh affairs, Babington also served as Queen's counsel for Welsh Marches. This position allowed him to navigate complex political landscapes while advocating for both religious unity and British interests. This historical portrait offers us a glimpse into the life of Gervase Babington - a man dedicated to his faith, committed to serving his community, and deeply engaged with matters both spiritual and secular. It serves as a testament not only to his individual accomplishments but also to the rich tapestry of British history during this transformative period.
