Created between 1597 and 1621 by the talented artist Paul van Somer or someone attributed to him, this oil on canvas masterpiece measures at an impressive size of 75x61 cm. The portrait captures Bishop Bridgeman in a half-length pose, adorned in his ecclesiastical attire and facing towards the right with a dignified expression. His ruff collar adds a touch of elegance to his appearance while emphasizing his status within the religious order. The painting is inscribed with the bishop's name and prominently displays his coat of arms. This artwork beautifully represents both the artistic style prevalent during the late 16th and early 17th centuries as well as Bishop Bridgeman's significant role within Christianity.
