EDITORS COMMENTS

Sir Richard Empson was a trusted minister of King Henry VII during his reign as the first monarch of the House of Tudor. Born into influence as the son of Peter Empson, he played a significant role in shaping England's political landscape. Henry VII himself is depicted regally in this portrait. From his seizing of the crown on August 22nd, 1485 until his death on April 21st, 1509, he ruled over England and Ireland with authority and finesse. Edmund Dudley served as an administrator and financial agent for King Henry VII. His involvement in managing finances further solidified his position within the royal court. The painting exudes tradition and grandeur through its portrayal of these influential men. Their robes adorned with ermine lining and hats embellished with chains signify their high status within society.
