EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the esteemed figure of William of Wykeham, captured in 1829 by the talented artist James Fittler. Standing at an impressive 88x68 cm, this portrait is a testament to the legacy and influence of Bishop William of Wykeham (1320/24-1404). As Bishop of Winchester and Chancellor of England, he left an indelible mark on history by founding New College Oxford and New College School in 1379. In this exquisite portrayal, we see Bishop William adorned in his ornate bishop's attire - a crozier held firmly in one hand and a mitre hat resting upon his head. His gowns and robes exude elegance as they cascade gracefully around him. With every detail meticulously crafted, Fittler captures not only the physical likeness but also the essence of this revered clergyman. The setting chosen for this portrait adds to its grandeur; Bishop William is depicted kneeling before us with golden accents shimmering behind him. This composition symbolizes humility while simultaneously highlighting his significant contributions to academia and religious life. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are transported back to the 19th century when it was created - a time that pays homage to both Bishop William's medieval origins (14th century) as well as Fittler's artistic prowess. Courtesy of the Warden and Scholars of New College, Oxford, this print serves as a timeless reminder of one man's enduring impact on education and spirituality.
