EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable engraving of Oliver Cromwell, the renowned English military and political leader. Created by Pierre Drevet in 1663-1738, this artwork beautifully captures Cromwell's powerful presence and determination. Cromwell, also known as the Lord Protector of the Commonwealth of England, Scotland, and Ireland, played a crucial role during the turbulent times of the English Civil War. As one of history's most influential figures, he led the Parliamentarian forces against King Charles I and ultimately established a republican government. In this portrait, Cromwell is depicted wearing armor with an imposing sword at his side. His intense gaze and stern expression convey his unwavering commitment to his cause. The artist skillfully portrays every intricate detail from Cromwell's mask to his head and shoulders. The oval shape surrounding Cromwell further emphasizes his status as a ruler while paying homage to traditional portraiture styles of that era. This print serves as a testament to both Cromwell's significance in British history and Drevet's exceptional talent as an engraver. Displayed at the Free Library of Philadelphia Rare Book Department, this piece offers viewers a glimpse into one of England's most pivotal periods - where power struggles between Roundheads (supporters of Parliament) and Royalists shaped the nation's destiny.
