EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, created by the renowned artist Hans Holbein the Younger, depicts Edward Stafford, the 3rd Duke of Buckingham. A prominent historical figure from the 16th century, Stafford is best known as the founder of Magdalen College at Cambridge University. However, his life took a tragic turn when he was accused of treason and subsequently executed in 1521. The portrait captures Stafford's dignified presence and regal attire, showcasing his status as a nobleman. Despite its monochromatic nature, Holbein's masterful technique brings out intricate details that highlight both the duke's physical features and inner strength. The somber tone of this engraving reflects the gravity of Buckingham's fate. The viewer cannot help but be drawn into his story - one filled with ambition, power struggles, and ultimately betrayal. It serves as a poignant reminder of how political intrigue can shape destinies even among those in positions of influence. Preserved through time by Bridgeman Images' dedication to preserving historic art pieces like this one without commercial use restrictions or limitations on access for educational purposes; this print allows us to delve into an important chapter in history while appreciating Holbein's artistic brilliance.
