EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures a significant historical moment, the Meeting of Robert Devereux, 2nd Earl of Essex, and Hugh O'Neill, Earl of Tyrone in 1599. The image depicts two powerful figures from different sides coming together amidst the lush countryside of Ireland. Mounted on horseback, both lords exude an air of aristocracy as they engage in a parley by the river Lagan. This meeting holds great significance as it took place during the Nine Years' War between England and Ireland. Lord Essex was serving as the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland at that time while Hugh O'Neill led Irish forces against English rule. The artist Henry Warren skillfully recreates this historic encounter based on Thomas Wright's "The History of Ireland". Through digital cleaning techniques, this print allows us to appreciate every intricate detail with clarity. The engraving not only showcases these influential noblemen but also provides insight into Elizabethan England and its turbulent relationship with Ireland. It offers a glimpse into Tudor society and highlights the political complexities faced by both nations during this era. As we observe this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are transported back to a pivotal moment in European history where diplomacy met conflict on foreign soil.
