EDITORS COMMENTS
This oil on canvas portrait depicts John Hough, a prominent figure in the history of Magdalen College, Oxford. As the President of the college from 1687 to 1701, Hough played a significant role in shaping its legacy. The painting showcases his dignified presence and scholarly demeanor. Hough's accomplishments extended beyond his tenure at Magdalen College; he also served as Bishop of Oxford from 1690 to 1699, Bishop of Lichfield and Coventry from 1699 to 1717, and finally as Bishop of Worcester until his passing in 1743. His influence within the clergy was far-reaching and impactful. The artist skillfully captures Hough seated with an air of authority, adorned in traditional bishop attire with intricate sleeves that speak to his ecclesiastical status. The three-quarter length composition allows us to appreciate both the subject's regal stature and subtle facial expressions. Displayed proudly at Magdalen College itself, this painting is not only a testament to Hough's esteemed position but also serves as a reminder of the rich history and academic excellence associated with this renowned institution. It symbolizes the enduring connection between education, religion, and leadership - themes that continue to resonate today. As we gaze upon this remarkable portrait by Bridgeman Images' English School artist, we are transported back in time - invited into the world of John Hough where intellect meets spirituality in perfect harmony.
