EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the distinguished figure of Edward Alleyne (1566-1626), an influential English actor and theater entrepreneur. The engraving, created by Harding in the 19th century, captures Alleyne's commanding presence with his ruff collar, hat, and coat. Alleyne's legacy extends beyond his remarkable acting skills; he played a pivotal role in shaping the theatrical landscape of his time. Alongside Philip Henslowe, he built the renowned Fortune Theatre at Cripplegate, leaving an indelible mark on London's cultural scene. Not only was Alleyne a talented performer but also a visionary leader. He directed Lord Admiral's Company and even founded Dulwich College—a testament to his commitment to education and philanthropy. In this portrait, we witness the essence of Edward Alleyne—an embodiment of talent, ambition, and creativity. His piercing gaze hints at the depth of character that made him such a revered figure in Elizabethan theatre. This exquisite print is part of a private collection but has been graciously shared by www. bridgemanart. com for all art enthusiasts to appreciate. As it falls under public domain due to its age, it serves as both a visual delight and historical documentation of one man's significant contributions to English theater during an era brimming with artistic brilliance.
