EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a vellum portrait of R. Devereux, the Earl of Essex, dating back to 1588. Created by Nicholas Hilliard or his school, this piece measures 60 cm and is currently held in a private collection. The striking blue background adorned with gold inscriptions reading "Attici amoris ergo" and "Ano. Dni. 1588" adds an air of elegance to the composition. The subject of the portrait is depicted with a distinguished beard and mustache, exuding an aura of authority and power. His red hair stands out against the blue backdrop, making for a visually arresting contrast. The Earl's fashionable attire includes a hat embellished with lace fabric, showcasing his refined taste. In this masterful representation from the 16th century, we witness not only exceptional artistic skill but also gain insight into the fashion trends and cultural context of that era in England. This portrait captures both the essence of English nobility during this period as well as providing us with an intimate glimpse into one man's life. As we gaze upon this remarkable image, we are transported back in time to an age where holding hands was seen as a symbol of connection and unity between individuals. Through this photographical reproduction by Christie's Images, we can appreciate both the artistry behind it and its historical significance within European history.
