EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking print captures the enigmatic figure of Henry Percy, the 9th Earl of Northumberland, who lived from 1564 to 1632. Known as both a statesman and a scientist, he was famously referred to as the "Wizard Earl" due to his keen intellect and interests in alchemy and natural philosophy.
However, Percy's legacy is also tainted by his involvement in the infamous Gunpowder Plot of 1605, where a group of Catholic conspirators attempted to blow up the English Parliament. While it is still debated how deeply he was involved in the plot, his name has forever been linked with this dark chapter in British history.
In this portrait, Percy exudes an air of mystery and intrigue, with his piercing gaze and regal attire. The artist has captured not only his physical likeness but also hints at the complexities of his character - a man torn between ambition and loyalty.
As we gaze upon this image from Mary Evans Picture Library, we are reminded of the intricate web of politics and power that defined Percy's life. His story serves as a reminder that even those deemed great can be brought down by their own actions or allegiances.
