EDITORS COMMENTS
The Madagascar Portrait of Thomas Howard and his wife Aletheia Talbot captures the essence of aristocracy and ambition in 17th century England. Painted by Anthony van Dyck, this oil on canvas masterpiece measures 76.2x106.7 cm and is currently housed at Arundel Castle, belonging to His Grace The Duke of Norfolk. Thomas Howard, the fourteenth Earl of Arundel, was not only a prominent politician but also an avid art collector. Alongside him stands his wife Aletheia Talbot, Countess of Arundel, Surrey, and Norfolk. This portrait serves as a commemoration of their failed attempt to colonize Madagascar. The couple exudes elegance and power as they pose with symbols representing their status: a globe symbolizing exploration and dominion over vast territories; a crown signifying nobility; a pair of compasses representing knowledge and precision; chains of office denoting authority; robes symbolizing wealth; and even a sextant showcasing their interest in navigation. Van Dyck's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke - from the intricate patterns on Aletheia's gown to the delicate features on Thomas' face. The artist skillfully captures their three-quarter length poses with grace and dignity. This print from Fine Art Finder allows us to appreciate the beauty and historical significance behind this remarkable painting. It transports us back in time, offering us a glimpse into the lives of these influential figures who shaped both art history and colonial aspirations.
