EDITORS COMMENTS
This oil on canvas print showcases Magdalen Herbert, a woman of great influence and significance in her time. Painted by Federico Zuccaro, an Italian artist from the 16th century, this portrait captures the essence of Magdalen's elegance and grace. Magdalen Herbert was not just any ordinary lady; she was the daughter of Sir Richard Newport and Margaret Bromley. She married Richard Herbert of Black Hall and became the mother of two remarkable sons - George Herbert, a renowned religious poet, and Edward Herbert, who would later become the 1st Baron Herbert of Cherbury. In addition to her notable family connections, Magdalen was also a close friend of John Donne, further emphasizing her importance within literary circles. The inscription on this portrait mistakenly identifies her as Lord Newport's daughter when in fact she was his aunt. Nonetheless, it does not diminish her own accomplishments or status. Dressed in an Elizabethan fashion with plumes adorning her hat and feathers delicately placed amidst lace and pearls, Magdalen exudes sophistication. Her ruff clothing adds a touch of grandeur to her attire while showcasing the vibrant colors that were popular during that era. This print is a testament to both Zuccaro's artistic talent and Magdalen's enduring legacy as a prominent figure in history. It serves as a reminder of the influential women who shaped society during their time through their intellect, connections, and impeccable sense of style.
