1620 1666 Age D Alexander Attorney Brome
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative portrait captures the enigmatic figure of Alexander Brome (1620-1666), an English attorney and poet of the Restoration era. At the age of 44, Brome's intense gaze and expressive features convey a sense of deep contemplation and intellectual rigor. His dark attire, adorned with a ruff collar and lace cuffs, signify his status as a respected member of the legal profession. Brome's literary pursuits, however, were equally noteworthy. He was a prolific poet, known for his metaphysical and satirical verses. His works often explored the complexities of human emotion and the human condition, reflecting the intellectual and artistic ferment of the Restoration period. Brome's poetry was published in several collections, including "Theophila, or Love's Sacrifice" and "Solitude's Sweetness." His most famous work, "The Anatomy of Melancholy," is a sprawling, encyclopedic poem that delves into the nature of melancholy and its various manifestations. Despite his literary achievements, Brome's life was marked by tragedy. He lost his wife and three children in quick succession, and his health began to fail him in his later years. He died in 1666, leaving behind a rich literary legacy that continues to captivate readers and scholars. This portrait offers a glimpse into the life of a remarkable man who straddled the worlds of law and literature with equal distinction. It is a poignant reminder of the complexities of the human experience and the enduring power of the written word.
