EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving portrays Sir Nicholas Bacon, a prominent figure in English history. The profile view of the distinguished politician is captured with remarkable detail and precision by Adriaan van der Werff, an accomplished artist of the 17th century. Created as part of Isaac de Larrey's Histoire d'Angleterre, d'Ecosse et d'Irlande in 1730, this copperplate engraving showcases Van der Werff's exceptional talent. Sir Nicholas Bacon (1510-1579) was not only known for his political influence but also held the esteemed position of Lord Keeper of the Great Seal. His role in shaping English law and governance during his time was significant, making him a key historical personage. The oval-shaped portrait is framed by intricate foliage bordering that adds a touch of elegance to this print. Pieter Stevens van Gunst skillfully engraved this masterpiece after Van der Werff's original work, ensuring every line and contour captures Sir Nicholas Bacon's essence. As we gaze upon this striking image, we are transported back to the 18th century when European history unfolded before our eyes. This print serves as a reminder of the influential figures who shaped nations and left indelible marks on our collective memory.
