EDITORS COMMENTS
This aquatint print showcases Sir William Sharington, a man of many roles and controversies. Created by the renowned artist Hans Holbein the Younger, this portrait captures Sharington's enigmatic persona with remarkable detail and precision. Sir William Sharington was not just an ordinary figure; he was a mastermind behind the Bristol Mint, a member of parliament, a conspirator, and even held the esteemed position of High Sheriff of Wiltshire. His life was filled with intrigue and power struggles within the court of King Henry VIII. The print offers us a glimpse into 16th-century fashion as well. The elaborate hats worn by members of parliament during that era are prominently displayed in this half-length portrait. The clothing worn by Sharington reflects his status as one of the courtiers at King Henry VIII's court. Published in "Facsimiles of Original Drawings" by Hans Holbein, this aquatint engraving beautifully reproduces Francis Bartolozzi's work from original plates dating back to 1884. It is part of a private collection but has been made available for public viewing through Fine Art Finder. As we admire this striking image, let us delve into history and unravel the intriguing story behind Sir William Sharington - an influential politician who left an indelible mark on both politics and society during his time.
