EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the portrait of Henry Holden, an intriguing figure from history. Painted by Peter Lely (1618-1680) or one of his followers, this oil on canvas masterpiece measures 61.5x49 cm and is currently housed in Magdalen College, Oxford, UK. Henry Holden (1662-1710) was a fellow at Magdalen College during the years 1686 to 1705. However, his time there was not without controversy as he was expelled in 1687 for reasons that remain undisclosed. This enigmatic background adds an air of mystery to his already striking presence in the painting. The oval-shaped composition focuses solely on Henry Holden's bust length, allowing us to fully appreciate his dignified appearance and refined features. He wears a wig typical of the era, emphasizing his status as a gentleman scholar. Peter Lely's skillful brushwork brings out every detail with precision and elegance. The play of light and shadow enhances the texture of Holden's clothing while highlighting the contours of his face. This portrait serves as a timeless reminder of Henry Holden's existence and contribution to academia despite being shrouded in secrecy. It stands as a testament to both Lely's artistic prowess and Holden's enduring legacy within Magdalen College.
