EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the powerful and haunting portrait of Sir Philip Howard, the thirteenth Earl of Arundel. Painted by Henry Barraud on an oil canvas, this masterpiece measures 64.8x69.9 cm and is currently housed in the collection of His Grace The Duke of Norfolk at Arundel Castle. The image depicts Sir Philip Howard in a state of despair and loneliness within the confines of Beauchamp Tower, where he was held captive for ten agonizing years until his eventual death as a prisoner. This portrayal captures not only his physical imprisonment but also reflects the religious persecution and intolerance prevalent during the Elizabethan era. Sir Philip Howard's aristocratic stature is evident through his elegant attire and walking stick, symbolizing both his social status and resilience amidst adversity. A loyal pet dog stands faithfully by his side, offering solace in this desolate setting. This portrait serves as a poignant reminder of Sir Philip Howard's martyrdom, as he was canonized for remaining steadfast to his Catholic faith despite immense pressure to renounce it. Through this artwork, we glimpse into a turbulent chapter in history when individuals like Sir Philip faced unimaginable hardships due to their beliefs. Barraud's skillful brushwork brings forth an emotional depth that resonates with viewers even centuries later. It serves as a testament to both artistic excellence and historical significance captured within one frame.
