EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the essence of Henry Compton, Bishop of London, in all his regal splendor. Painted by John Riley and skillfully engraved by Isaac Beckett around 1685, this portrait showcases Compton's distinguished features with remarkable detail. Compton is depicted with long flowing hair that frames his face elegantly. He wears a cap atop his head, adding an air of authority to his presence. Adorned in magnificent episcopal robes, he exudes power and prestige befitting his position as Bishop of London. The artist has expertly captured the bishop's commanding gaze, which seems to penetrate through the ages. His expression reflects wisdom and deep contemplation, hinting at the weighty responsibilities he carried on behalf of the church during this pivotal period in history. This print not only serves as a visual testament to Compton's importance but also offers a glimpse into 17th-century fashion trends. The intricate details of his clothing showcase the opulence and refinement associated with high-ranking clergymen during this era. Preserved within a private collection for centuries, this engraving now allows us to appreciate both its artistic merit and historical significance. It stands as a timeless tribute to one man's influential role within society while providing us with valuable insights into the fashions and customs prevalent during that time.
