EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the striking portrait of Colonel Edward Massey, painted around 1660 by an anonymous English artist. Measuring 36.2x24.8 cm, this oil on canvas masterpiece is housed in the prestigious Gloucester City Museum and Art Gallery in Gloucestershire, UK. Colonel Edward Massey (c. 1619-74) was a notable figure during the tumultuous period of the English Civil War. Initially fighting as a Parliamentarian, he later switched sides to become a Royalist soldier and politician. This painting beautifully captures his commanding presence and resolute demeanor. Dressed in full armor with a prominent breastplate, Colonel Massey exudes strength and authority through his piercing gaze and confident posture. The intricate details of his military attire reflect both his role as a soldier and his status as a respected colonel. The composition focuses on Colonel Massey's bust length, emphasizing his importance within historical context while allowing viewers to appreciate the fine brushwork that brings him to life on canvas. This remarkable artwork not only serves as an exquisite example of portraiture from the 17th century but also provides insight into one man's journey through one of England's most significant conflicts – the English Civil War. It stands as a testament to Colonel Edward Massey's enduring legacy as both a warrior and statesman.
