EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving depicts Henry Brandon, the 2nd Duke of Suffolk, who lived from 1535 to 1551. The portrait was created in 1812 by Francesco Bartolozzi after a miniature painting by Hans Holbein the Younger. Henry Brandon was an English nobleman and the son of Charles Brandon, the 1st Duke of Suffolk, and his fourth wife Catherine Willoughby. Tragically, he died during the devastating sweating sickness epidemic. The artist has beautifully captured Henry's youthful innocence and aristocratic charm. His delicate features are meticulously rendered with intricate details that showcase Holbein's mastery as a painter. Dressed in regal attire befitting his noble status, Henry exudes an air of confidence beyond his years. His piercing gaze engages viewers and invites them into his world. This portrait is not only a testament to Henry's short but significant life but also serves as a valuable historical document reflecting Renaissance-era fashion and societal norms. Displayed against a plain background, this print allows us to focus solely on Henry's face - a window into another time. It reminds us of the fleeting nature of life and how even those born into privilege are not immune to tragedy. As we contemplate this image today, we can appreciate both its artistic merit and its historical significance - capturing a moment frozen in time for future generations to admire.
