EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the illustrious figure of Thomas Wolsey, as depicted in Lord Brougham's renowned publication "Old Englands Worthies". Created by an anonymous English artist during the 19th century, this engraving offers a glimpse into the life of one of history's most influential statesmen. Thomas Wolsey, born around 1475, was not only a lord chancellor but also Henry VIII's trusted first minister. Donning his ecclesiastical robes with grace and dignity, Wolsey is portrayed here wearing a mozetta and biretta - symbols of his high rank within the Roman Catholic Church. However, behind this regal facade lies a complex tale. Despite his esteemed position, Wolsey faced accusations of treason that ultimately led to his downfall. This portrait captures him in profile, allowing us to observe both his commanding presence and contemplative expression. The fine details captured in this print invite viewers to appreciate the artistry involved in its creation. From the delicate lines etched onto paper to the subtle shading that brings depth to each feature - every stroke adds another layer of realism. As we gaze upon this historic image from our private collection today, we are reminded not only of Thomas Wolsey's significant role as a statesman but also of how art has preserved moments from our past for generations to come.
