EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait print showcases the esteemed figure of John Jewel, a prominent 16th-century bishop. Painted with watercolor and gouache on paper by Sarah Countess of Essex in 1825, this artwork is a testament to her talent as an artist. The image captures Bishop Jewel's dignified presence, highlighting his role as an influential prelate during the era of Queen Elizabeth I. With his striking moustache and beard, Bishop Jewel exudes wisdom and authority. His piercing gaze reflects both intelligence and determination, revealing a man who was deeply committed to his ecclesiastical duties. Dressed in traditional 16th-century attire, he embodies the essence of religious leadership from that period. Bishop Jewel holds historical significance for being the author of "The Apology" published in 1562. This work played a crucial role in defending Protestantism against Catholic criticism during a time when religious tensions were high. As such, this portrait serves as a visual representation of his intellectual contributions to the Church. Displayed within a private collection today but originally part of The Stapleton Collection, this piece offers viewers an opportunity to connect with history through art. It reminds us not only of Bishop Jewel's legacy but also celebrates the skillful craftsmanship employed by Sarah Countess of Essex. In summary, this exquisite portrait print immortalizes Bishop John Jewel - an eminent cleric whose impact on English ecclesiastical history cannot be overstated.
