George Villiers, 1st Duke of Buckingham, was a prominent figure in English history during the early 17th century. Known for his lavish lifestyle and influential position at court, he left an indelible mark on the political landscape of his time. The Apotheosis of the Duke of Buckingham, a stunning artwork from around 1900, captures the grandeur and power associated with this nobleman. In another artistic portrayal, George Villiers is depicted wearing an exquisite lace collar, pearl necklaces adorning his regal attire while donning a leather breastplate. This copperplate engraving by Charles Simonneau after Adriaen van der Werff showcases his opulent taste and commanding presence. A letter written by George Villiers to James I in April 1623 reveals his involvement in important matters of state. As a trusted advisor to the king, he played a significant role in shaping England's policies during this period. A portrait painted around 1616 portrays George Villiers as a young man full of ambition and charisma. The oil on canvas masterpiece highlights his striking features and hints at the influence he would later wield within royal circles. Tragically, George Villiers' life came to an abrupt end when he was assassinated in Portsmouth in 1628. Engravings depicting this shocking event immortalize the murder that shook England's elite society. Despite its tragic conclusion, George Villiers' legacy lives on through various artistic representations such as Mr John Henderson's portrayal of Bayes in "The Rehearsal, " where he pays homage to one of Buckingham's famous works. The death of Buckingham is captured poignantly through engravings that depict both sorrow and intrigue surrounding his untimely demise. These artworks serve as reminders not only of the man himself but also of the tumultuous times in which he lived. Finally, we catch a glimpse into George Villiers' international influence with a color lithograph showcasing him at court in France.
