EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the esteemed figure of Matthew Parker (1504-1575), Archbishop of Canterbury and renowned theologian. The portrait, created by Adriaan van der Werff (1659-1722) and engraved by Pieter Stevens van Gunst, showcases Parker in a side profile view, exuding an air of wisdom and authority. Parker's importance is further emphasized by the inclusion of his coat of arms and mitre, symbols of his ecclesiastical power. The oval shape adds a touch of elegance to the composition while highlighting Parker as the sole focus. As a bishop and clergyman, he played a significant role within religious orders during this period. The meticulous details in this copperplate engraving allow us to appreciate not only Parker's physical features but also the intricate foliage border that surrounds him. This decorative element enhances the historical context captured within this artwork. Originally featured in Isaac de Larrey's "Histoire d'Angleterre, d'Ecosse et d'Irlande" published in Amsterdam in 1730, this print serves as a testament to European history from the 18th century. It offers us a glimpse into an era where religion held great influence over society. Bridgeman Images presents this remarkable piece from their collection without mentioning any commercial use restrictions.
