EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Thomas Howard, the 14th Earl of Arundel, who lived from 1585 to 1646. Renowned as a patron of the arts and an avid collector, he earned the moniker "The Collector Earl". This image is sourced from the esteemed 1813 edition of The Heads of Illustrious Persons of Great Britain, meticulously engraved by Mr. Houbraken and Mr. Vertue, accompanied by their detailed biographies. Thomas Howard's influential role in British history cannot be overstated. As one of England's nobility figures during the late 16th and early 17th centuries, he held prestigious titles such as the 4th Earl of Surrey and the 1st Earl of Norfolk. Hailing from Welsh descent, his courtly presence was highly regarded among his peers. Notably remembered for his passion for collecting art and antiquities, Thomas Howard played a pivotal role in amassing what would become known as the Arundel Marbles - an impressive collection that included classical sculptures acquired during his travels across Europe. This portrait engraving offers a glimpse into this nobleman's life; it captures both his dignified demeanor and refined taste in art. Preserved within historical archives, this piece serves as a testament to Thomas Howard's enduring legacy as an influential figure in English history and culture.
