EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Oliver Cromwell, the influential Lord Protector of Great Britain and Ireland from 1653-1658. Painted by Rosalind Thornycroft in 1932, this artwork showcases Cromwell's commanding presence as he led Parliament's forces during the English Civil War. The scene depicted in this print portrays a Puritan family engaged in a solemn moment of saying grace before their dinner. Cromwell's significant role in history is highlighted through his leadership that resulted in England, Scotland, and Ireland becoming a commonwealth after the war. As head of state until his death, Cromwell left an indelible mark on British history. The image also offers insights into the religious beliefs and customs prevalent during that era. The Puritan family portrayed here represents the strong influence of Christianity and its impact on daily life. Their attire reflects their modesty and devotion to their faith. With meticulous attention to detail, Thornycroft beautifully captures not only Cromwell's portrait but also creates an atmosphere that transports viewers back to seventeenth-century Britain. From the furniture to Cromwell's armor displayed nearby, every element adds depth to this historical composition. This print serves as a testament to both Oliver Cromwell's legacy as well as Rosalind Thornycroft's artistic prowess in capturing important moments from our past for future generations to appreciate and learn from.
