EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable portrait of Sir William Fairfax, painted by Samuel Cooper between 1642 and 1644. The artwork, created using watercolor on vellum, measures a mere height of 4.5 cm. Housed in The Berger Collection at the Denver Art Museum in the United States, this exquisite piece offers a glimpse into the life and times of Sir William Fairfax. Sir William Fairfax was an influential figure during the English Civil War, aligning himself with the Parliamentarian cause as a committed Roundhead. Tragically, his life was cut short while defending Montgomery Castle during its siege of relief. Despite his untimely demise at just 35 years old, this miniature portrait immortalizes him for future generations to admire. The attention to detail captured by Samuel Cooper is truly remarkable given the small scale of this artwork. Every brushstroke brings out Sir William Fairfax's strong features and determined expression, reflecting his unwavering commitment to his beliefs. As part of The Berger Collection Educational Trust's efforts to preserve and educate about fine art history, this photograph allows viewers worldwide to appreciate and learn from this significant historical artifact. This image is made available through Bridgeman Images for educational purposes only; it should not be used for commercial gain or promotion unrelated to its artistic value.
