EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Sr. Thomas Smyth, an influential figure from the 16th century. Despite being created by an unknown artist in 1785, it beautifully captures the essence of this remarkable man. With a long, distinguished beard and dressed in traditional attire of the time, Smyth exudes wisdom and authority. Smyth's significance lies in his multifaceted roles as an English scholar, parliamentarian, and diplomat during a period marked by religious upheaval. As one of the early converts to Protestantism, he played a crucial role in promoting this new faith. His diplomatic skills were recognized by Queen Elizabeth I herself when she appointed him Secretary of State and entrusted him with important missions abroad. The image is framed within an oval shape, adding a touch of elegance to its composition. It was originally featured in "The History of England" written by Paul de Rapin-Thoyras and published by Harrison in London during the 18th century. This historical portrait not only offers us a glimpse into Smyth's physical appearance but also serves as a reminder of Britain's colonial past and its impact on religion and education. It symbolizes the intellectual pursuits that defined this era while highlighting Smyth's contributions to shaping England's history. As we admire this monochrome masterpiece today, we are reminded of Sir Thomas Smyth's enduring legacy as both a scholar and statesman who left an indelible mark on British society during the turbulent times he lived in.
