EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait print showcases the enigmatic figure of Henry Howard, Earl of Surrey, a prominent courtier and poet during the 16th century. Painted with meticulous detail in watercolor and gouache on paper by Sarah Countess of Essex in 1825, this artwork captures the essence of Surrey's noble character. Dressed in an exquisite Tudor costume adorned with a courtesy title, cuff, feather, dagger, and hat, Surrey exudes an air of sophistication befitting his status as a member of Queen Elizabeth's court. His piercing gaze reflects both intelligence and introspection while hinting at the inner turmoil that often plagued him. Renowned for introducing Italian and French verse forms into English poetry, Surrey was also celebrated for his blank verse translation of two books from Virgil's Aeneid. This painting pays homage to his literary achievements by portraying him holding a quill pen - symbolizing his poetic prowess. The backdrop featuring Kenninghall adds depth to the composition while reminding us of Surrey's ancestral home. The artist skillfully captures every intricate detail - from the delicate brushstrokes that define his features to the subtle play between light and shadow. As we admire this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are transported back in time to witness one man's contribution to literature and culture during England's golden age.
