EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking full-length engraving captures the imposing figure of Cardinal Thomas Wolsey (1475-1530), a pivotal English prelate and statesman of the Tudor era. Wolsey's stern expression and robes adorned with the cross of a cardinal convey the gravity and power of his position in the Catholic Church and the English court. Born in Ipswich, Suffolk, Wolsey rose to prominence as a lawyer and advisor to King Henry VIII. He was instrumental in securing the annulment of Henry's first marriage to Catherine of Aragon, which allowed the king to marry Anne Boleyn. Wolsey's influence reached its peak during the early years of Henry's reign, but his fall from grace was swift and dramatic. In 1529, he was accused of heresy and treason, and was eventually sent to the Tower of London, where he died in 1530. This engraving, likely produced between 1475 and 1530, offers a glimpse into the historical significance of Wolsey's life and career. The artist, unknown to us, skillfully captures the intricate details of Wolsey's robes, the folds of his cloak, and the subtle whispers of his beard. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the complex political landscape of Tudor England and the influential role of the Catholic Church in shaping its history. This engraving, with its rich historical context and intricate details, is an essential addition to any collection of Tudor-era art or English history. Its timeless beauty and historical significance make it a captivating piece for scholars, art enthusiasts, and anyone with an interest in the intriguing history of England during the Tudor period.
