EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait print showcases the esteemed figure of Charles Howard, 2nd Baron Howard of Effingham. Painted by the renowned artist Nicholas Hilliard in 1576, this exquisite watercolor on vellum is delicately encased in a gilt metal frame. The artwork measures a mere 5.2x4.8 cm, yet it exudes an undeniable aura of power and authority. Charles Howard was not only a prominent English statesman but also held the prestigious title of Lord High Admiral under both Queen Elizabeth I and King James I. He played a pivotal role in leading English forces against the formidable Spanish Armada, displaying his exceptional naval command skills. Interestingly, this portrait was initially misidentified as Henry Howard, 1st Earl of Northampton; however, further research has confirmed its true subject to be Charles Howard himself. The painting captures him with regal elegance, donning an elaborate ruff collar that epitomizes Tudor fashion. As we gaze upon this miniature masterpiece from centuries past, we are transported back to the vibrant courts of Elizabethan and Jacobean England. This intimate portrayal reveals not only Charles Howard's status as an aristocrat but also his significant influence within British society. Now housed at the Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA, this print serves as a testament to Hilliard's artistic prowess and immortalizes one of England's most distinguished statesmen from the sixteenth century
