1552 1634 Chain Coke Ermine Gucht Jurist Ruff
EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking portrait captures the distinguished visage of Edward Coke, 1st Earl of Leicester and Lord Chief Justice of England (1552-1634). Known for his long white beard and ruff collar, Coke's piercing gaze and authoritative demeanor are evident in this image. The jurist wears a black robe adorned with ermine trim and a gold chain signifying his high rank. Edward Coke was a leading figure in English law during the late Elizabethan and early Jacobean eras. He played a pivotal role in the development of the common law, advocating for the supremacy of parliament over the monarchy and the protection of individual rights. Coke's most famous work, "Institutes of the Laws of England," was published in 1628 and remains a seminal text in the study of English legal history. This portrait, likely created during Coke's tenure as Lord Chief Justice, underscores his reputation as a formidable and influential figure in English legal and political history. The artist, Gucht, skillfully captures the intricacies of Coke's attire, from the ruff collar to the ermine trim, emphasizing the subject's status and authority. The portrait serves as a testament to Coke's enduring legacy and his contributions to the English legal system.
