EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait depicts George Digby, the second Earl of Bristol (1612-1677), an influential figure during the English Civil War as a Royalist soldier and writer. Born into the noble Digby family, George was educated at Trinity College, Cambridge, and later became a Member of Parliament. As a soldier, Earl Bristol played a significant role in the First English Civil War, commanding the Royalist forces in the West Country. He was known for his bravery and strategic prowess, leading his troops in several successful battles against the Parliamentarians. However, his military career was not without setbacks, and he was eventually captured and imprisoned in 1646. Despite his military engagements, Earl Bristol was also an accomplished writer. He authored several works, including "The Observations upon the Present State of the Army," which provided insight into the political and military situation during the Civil War. His writings were influential in shaping public opinion and were widely read among the Royalist circles. This portrait, believed to have been painted around the time of the English Civil War, captures the Earl's regal bearing and intelligence. He is depicted wearing the robes of the Order of the Garter, a sign of his high rank and status. The portrait also features intricate details, such as the Earl's elaborate collar and the ornate background, which reflect the opulence of the period. Earl Bristol's legacy extends beyond the Civil War, as he played a role in the Restoration of the Monarchy in 1660. He was appointed as a Privy Counsellor and served as Lord Chamberlain until his death in 1677. This portrait serves as a reminder of Earl Bristol's significant contributions to English history as a soldier, writer, and nobleman during a time of political and military upheaval.
