The Browne Brothers, 1598
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating portrait that showcases the bond of brotherhood and loyalty. Painted by Isaac Oliver, this exquisite print depicts three brothers - John Browne, Anthony Maria Browne, and William Browne. Dressed in identical attire, their Roman Catholic faith is evident through their conformist appearance. The significance of this family group portrait lies in its historical context. The grandsons of Anthony Browne, 1st Viscount Montague, these brothers are descendants of a man implicated in the Ridolfi Plot in 1571. Furthermore, Anthony Maria Browne himself was later suspected of involvement in the infamous Gunpowder Plot due to his association with Guy Fawkes. Measuring at 24.1x26 cm and part of the Burghley House Collection in Lincolnshire, UK; this gouache & watercolor on vellum artwork captures not only the physical resemblance between the siblings but also their deep connection as they stand shoulder to shoulder. With its intricate details and delicate brushwork typical of Oliver's style, "The Browne Brothers" offers a glimpse into Elizabethan society and familial ties during a tumultuous period in English history. This remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images serves as an enduring testament to fraternal love and unity while reminding us that even within families there can be secrets hidden beneath seemingly ordinary exteriors.
