EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a hand-coloured engraving of Robert Devereux, the Earl of Essex, from the Receuil des Estampes. Published in 1780 by Pierre Duflos, this exquisite piece captures the essence of Devereux's character and historical significance. Robert Devereux was a prominent figure during the Elizabethan era in England. As one of Queen Elizabeth I's favorites, he enjoyed great influence and power at court. However, his impulsive nature and ambitious aspirations ultimately led to his downfall. The portrait depicts Devereux in full regalia, exuding an air of nobility and courage. His beheading is hinted at through subtle symbolism, reminding viewers of his tragic fate as a result of treasonous actions against the crown. Despite his rash decisions and failed expedition to Ireland that cost him favor with Queen Elizabeth I, Robert Devereux remains an intriguing figure from history. This engraving serves as a visual testament to both his charisma and ultimate demise. Through this image, we are transported back to the vibrant world of 16th-century England. It offers us a glimpse into the complex dynamics between royalty and their loyal subjects during this tumultuous period in British history. As part of The Stapleton Collection held privately today, this print stands as a remarkable representation not only of Robert Devereux but also as a window into an era long past yet still fascinatingly relevant today.
