EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative portrait captures the revered figure of George Bull, the Lord Bishop of St David's in Wales, during the late 17th century. Born in 1634, Bull was a significant religious and political figure in Wales during a time of great change and upheaval. The image, dated around 1710, depicts Bull in his full ecclesiastical regalia, with a serious yet compassionate expression. His robes, adorned with intricate embroidery and rich fabrics, reflect the grandeur and importance of his position. The Bishop's mitre, a traditional headdress worn by bishops, sits atop his head, adding to the sense of authority and dignity. Bull served as the Bishop of St David's from 1689 until his death in 1710. He was a man of great learning and piety, known for his dedication to the welfare of his flock and his efforts to promote peace and unity within the Welsh community. During his tenure, he oversaw the rebuilding of St David's Cathedral, which had been damaged during the English Civil War. This portrait offers a glimpse into the life of a man who played a pivotal role in the religious and political history of Wales. It serves as a reminder of the power and influence of the Church in shaping the lives of its people, and the enduring importance of faith and spiritual leadership in times of uncertainty.
