EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Portrait of Sir Thomas Gresham" takes us back in time to the 16th century and offers a glimpse into the life of this influential English merchant. Painted by Anthonis van Dashorst, also known as Antonio Moro, this portrait showcases Sir Thomas Gresham's dignified presence and wealth. Dressed in fashionable attire of the era, Sir Thomas is depicted sitting with an air of confidence amidst luxurious furniture. His elaborate ruffs and stylish hat reflect his status as a prominent figure in commerce during that period. The attention to detail in capturing his clothing highlights the importance placed on fashion at that time. The artist skillfully captures Sir Thomas' half-length pose, allowing viewers to appreciate his distinguished features and commanding expression. This print not only serves as a testament to Gresham's influence but also provides valuable insight into the fashions and customs of the Elizabethan era. Published over two centuries later by T Cox and F Harris, this engraving pays homage to Lady Northampton who possessed the original painting from which it was derived. Its inclusion in Look and Learn / Elgar Collection further emphasizes its historical significance. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Fine Art Finder's Bridgeman Images collection, we are transported back in time - witnessing both the grandeur of Sir Thomas Gresham himself and gaining a deeper understanding of an important chapter in England's mercantile history.
