EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable portrait of Sir John Lister, a prominent figure in 17th-century England. Painted with meticulous detail on canvas, this oil masterpiece measures 89x65.5 cm and is housed in the prestigious Wilberforce House, part of Hull City Museums and Art Galleries in the UK. The portrait depicts Sir John Lister from the head to torso, gazing directly at the viewer against a striking black background. His attire reflects the fashion of his time, adorned with an exquisite ruff collar that adds elegance to his appearance. This baroque-style painting captures every intricate detail of his costume and highlights his distinguished status as both a knight and mayor. Beneath this image lies a golden inscription that proudly declares Sir John Lister's accomplishments: "Sir In: Lister Knight twice / Mayor & Burgefs in Parliament / for Kingston upon Hull: obijt Decbr 23d 1640". These words pay homage to his significant contributions as a statesman representing Kingston upon Hull. With its rich colors and masterful execution, this portrait transports us back to an era defined by Stuart influences. The meticulously painted moustache further emphasizes Sir John Lister's British heritage. As we admire this extraordinary piece of English artistry captured by Bridgeman Images, we are reminded of Sir John Lister's enduring legacy as a respected leader who left an indelible mark on history.
