EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait print showcases the distinguished figure of Anthony Ashley Cooper, the Earl of Shaftesbury. Created by Jacobus Houbraken in 1742, this engraving is a remarkable illustration from the renowned publication "Heads of Illustrious Persons of Great Britain" published by Knapton in London. The artwork now resides within a private collection. Anthony Ashley Cooper, also known as the 1st Earl of Shaftesbury, was an influential statesman and philosopher during the 17th century. This oval-shaped depiction captures his aristocratic essence and intellectual prowess. With half-length framing and an air of authority, it conveys his significant role as a royalist politician and author. The portrait emanates sophistication and elegance through its meticulous details and refined composition. It serves as a testament to both Cooper's societal standing as an aristocrat and his contributions to literature with female writers being mentioned alongside him. As we delve into this piece from the seventeenth century, we are transported back in time to witness the grandeur that defined European society during that era. Its inclusion within Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder allows us to appreciate its historical significance while preserving its artistic beauty for generations to come.
