EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative portrait captures Ferdinand, Lord Fairfax (1578-1648), a pivotal figure in English history during the tumultuous 17th century. As a military commander for the Parliamentary forces during the English Civil War, Lord Fairfax played a crucial role in the conflict that would ultimately lead to the execution of King Charles I. Born into an aristocratic family, Lord Fairfax initially pursued a career as an attorney before being called to serve in the military. His military prowess and unwavering commitment to the Parliamentary cause earned him the respect and admiration of his fellow citizens. The autograph inscription on the bottom right corner of the print adds an intriguing personal touch to this historical image. It reads, "F.L. Fairfax," a testament to the hand of Lord Fairfax himself. The portrait was likely taken around the year 1640, during the height of Lord Fairfax's military career. He is depicted in full regalia, with a stern expression and piercing gaze, exuding an air of authority and determination. The background is simple, with a plain, dark backdrop that allows the subject to take center stage. Lord Fairfax's legacy extends beyond the battlefield, as he is also remembered as a statesman and a key figure in the establishment of the Commonwealth of England. His son, Thomas Fairfax, would later inherit his father's military and political legacy, serving as Lord General of the New Model Army during the English Civil War. This portrait offers a glimpse into the life of a complex and influential historical figure, providing a valuable window into the political and military landscape of 17th century England.
