EDITORS COMMENTS
In this poignant and evocative image, the dying Henry Beaufort, Bishop of Winchester and Cardinal, lies on his deathbed, surrounded by clergymen and attendants. The somber atmosphere is heightened by the dimly lit room, the pallor of the bishop's face, and the solemn expressions of those gathered around him. As the end draws near, Henry Beaufort, a man known for his worldly pursuits and political savvy, is exhorted by these religious figures to turn his mind to "Higher Things." Henry Beaufort, born in 1374, was a prominent figure in English politics during the late Middle Ages. He rose to power under King Henry IV and served as Lord Chamberlain, Chancellor, and Bishop of Winchester. He was also made a cardinal in 1426 by Pope Martin V. However, his political ambitions and wealth earned him many enemies, and he was known for his love of luxury and worldly pleasures. As the end of his life approached, the bishop was reminded of the transient nature of worldly possessions and the importance of turning to God. The scene depicted in the print is a powerful reminder of the human condition and the inevitability of death. The clergymen's urgent entreaties to Henry Beaufort to repent and focus on the spiritual realm underscore the urgency of the moment. Despite his worldly accomplishments, Henry Beaufort died on August 31, 1447, leaving behind a complex legacy. This image serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of spiritual reflection and the human capacity for change, even in the face of death. The somber and evocative atmosphere of the print invites viewers to contemplate the meaning of life and the importance of focusing on "Higher Things.
