Capture of the FitzGeralds - A Glimpse into Ireland's Turbulent Past
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This sepia-toned photo print, titled "Capture of the FitzGeralds" takes us back to 16th-century Ireland, offering a rare glimpse into a significant historical event. The illustration is derived from Cassell's Illustrated History of England and showcases an engraving by an anonymous English School artist from the 19th century. The scene depicts Thomas FitzGerald, the 10th Earl of Kildare, along with his family being apprehended. Known as Silken Thomas for his flamboyant attire, he rebelled against King Henry VIII's authority in Ireland. Lord Leonard Gray, the Lord Deputy of Ireland at that time, can be seen arresting him and his kin. This image transports us to a time when political tensions ran high between Irish lords and English rulers. The capture of the FitzGeralds symbolizes both resistance against foreign dominance and its subsequent suppression. With intricate details meticulously captured through engravings, this artwork offers valuable insights into not only Irish history but also broader European dynamics during the 16th century. It serves as a reminder that even within seemingly serene portraits lie stories brimming with conflict and struggle. Preserved in private collections like The Stapleton Collection today, this remarkable piece reminds us to appreciate art's ability to preserve historical narratives while igniting our curiosity about past events that have shaped our present world.
