EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving by Hans Holbein the Younger depicts William Reskimer, a distinguished courtier to King Henry VIII. Created in 1812 and handcoloured by Robert Cooper, this print showcases the remarkable talent of both artists. Reskimer, a Cornish gentleman, served as an influential figure within the royal court during the Renaissance period. Despite being mislabeled as his brother John Reskemeer, this portrait beautifully captures his noble presence and refined demeanor. Holbein's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his brush. The intricate lines and shading bring Reskimer's face to life, revealing a man of great stature and importance. His piercing gaze reflects wisdom and experience gained through years spent serving the king. The vibrant colors added by Cooper enhance the overall composition, adding depth and richness to this historical masterpiece. As we admire this engraving today, we are transported back in time to witness the elegance and grandeur of Tudor England. This piece not only serves as a testament to Holbein's skill but also provides us with a glimpse into the fascinating world of courtiers during King Henry VIII's reign. It reminds us that behind every powerful ruler stood loyal individuals like William Reskimer who played vital roles in shaping history. Displayed proudly in private collections around the world, this enchanting print continues to captivate art enthusiasts with its timeless beauty and historical significance.
