EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking portrait captures Thomas Howard, the 2nd Earl of Arundel and Surrey (1585-1646), and his wife Alathea, in an elegant and refined setting. The image, dated between 1585 and 1646, showcases Thomas in his regal attire, adorned with the insignia of his earldom, while Alathea wears an elegant gown and a jeweled headdress. The couple's strong connection is evident in their gaze towards each other, suggesting a deep affection and partnership. Thomas Howard was a prominent figure in English history as a patron of the arts. He was known for his extensive collection of art and antiquities, which included works by renowned artists such as Titian, Veronese, and Holbein. His patronage extended beyond the visual arts, as he also supported poets, musicians, and playwrights. The globe in the background of the portrait is a testament to Thomas's interest in geography and exploration. It is believed that he may have sponsored voyages to the New World, further expanding his vast collection of treasures. The identity of the artist responsible for this portrait remains uncertain, but it is thought to be either Anthony van Dyck or an artist from his workshop. Van Dyck, a Flemish painter, was known for his portraits of the English aristocracy during the early 17th century. This image not only offers a glimpse into the lives of the 2nd Earl of Arundel and Surrey and his wife Alathea but also highlights the cultural and artistic landscape of the time. The portrait is a valuable historical document that continues to intrigue and inspire scholars and art enthusiasts alike.
