EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite portrait, titled "Portrait of Chaucer," is a fascinating glimpse into the past, capturing the enigmatic figure of Geoffrey Chaucer, considered the father of English literature. The portrait, believed to have been created around 1603, is an intriguing representation of Chaucer in his later years. He is depicted wearing a fur-lined robe, signifying his high status as the Clerk of the King's Works and the Poet Laureate. Chaucer's family is also depicted in the portrait, with his wife, Philippa, and their children, Thomas and Alice, seated at his feet. This inclusion adds a personal touch to the image, emphasizing Chaucer's role as a family man, not just a poet and literary figure. The portrait is surrounded by various symbols related to Chaucer's works, including a quill and inkpot, a book, and a harp. These symbols represent Chaucer's contributions to English poetry and literature, including his seminal works "The Canterbury Tales" and "Troilus and Criseyde." The presence of other poets, such as John Lydgate, in the background further underscores Chaucer's influence on English literature. Lydgate, who was a contemporary of Chaucer, is shown paying homage to the great poet, emphasizing the respect and admiration Chaucer commanded during his time. This beautiful portrait is a testament to Chaucer's enduring legacy as a literary giant and a family man. It provides a unique insight into the life of one of England's most celebrated poets and offers a glimpse into the world of English literature during the Middle Ages.
