EDITORS COMMENTS
This full-length portrait, painted by the renowned English artist Nicholas Hilliard around the year 1600, showcases Sir Robert Dudley, the Duke of Northumberland, in his regal splendor. The Duke, dressed in fashionable clothing of the seventeenth century, dons a gilded breastplate and a helmet adorned with intricate patterns, adding an air of military prowess and nobility. The Duke's breeches, with a subtle golden stripe, are tucked into high-topped, leather boots. The Duke's posture is confident and assertive, with one hand resting on his hip. Sir Robert Dudley was a man of many talents and professions. He was not only a powerful Duke but also an accomplished cartographer and mapmaker, contributing significantly to the field of cartography in Britain. His expertise in this area is hinted at by the map visible in the background of the portrait. The portrait, executed in English watercolor on parchment, is a testament to the artistic skills of Nicholas Hilliard. The use of gilt and gold adds a touch of opulence and grandeur, making this a truly stunning work of art from the seventeenth century. The Duke's portrait, with its rich colors and intricate details, is a valuable addition to the collections of the Nationalmuseum in Sweden and a significant piece of British heritage.
