EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the essence of Thomas Howard, 2nd Earl of Arundel, a prominent figure in English history. Painted by Anthony van Dyck around 1620-1, this oil on canvas print showcases the aristocrat's dignified presence and refined taste. Thomas Howard was not only an influential courtier but also a passionate patron and collector of art. In this painting, he exudes confidence as he sits elegantly with his gaze fixed upon the viewer. Adorned with a gold medallion depicting Saint George and wearing the prestigious Order of the Garter, Howard proudly displays his status within society. The artist skillfully portrays every detail, from the intricate drapery surrounding him to his elaborate ruff collar that adds an air of sophistication to his appearance. The composition is further enhanced by a rich curtain backdrop that complements Howard's regal aura. As one delves into this artwork, it becomes evident that it represents more than just a portrait; it symbolizes power, influence, and nobility during England's Stuart era. This piece serves as a testament to Thomas Howard's significant role in shaping British history and highlights his unwavering dedication to collecting and appreciating fine art. Now housed at the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles, USA, this remarkable print allows us to admire both Van Dyck's masterful technique and Thomas Howard's enduring legacy as an esteemed member of English aristocracy.
