Bernard Landowner Member Northampton Oval Parliament
EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking 17th century portrait captures the distinguished visage of Sir John Bernard, an English landowner and brief MP for Northampton. The image, painted in oil on canvas, showcases Sir John's elegant attire, including an ornate oval frame and a high, laced collar. His voluminous, curled wig adds to his regal appearance. Sir John Bernard was born in 1604 and rose to prominence through his extensive land holdings and political connections. He served as a Member of Parliament for Northampton from 1656 to 1658 during the Commonwealth period. Despite his brief tenure in Parliament, Sir John's influence extended beyond the political sphere. He was a respected figure in his community and played a significant role in local affairs. The artist's skillful use of light and shadow creates depth and texture, bringing Sir John's portrait to life and capturing the essence of the 17th century. This portrait is a testament to Sir John Bernard's status and achievements during a time of great change in English history.
