EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable portrait of Sir Thomas Smyth, engraved by John Goldar in 1785. The original painting was created by the renowned artist Hans Holbein the Younger during the late 15th century. Sir Thomas Smyth, a distinguished figure in Elizabethan England, served as Queen Elizabeth I's ambassador to France. His significant contributions include writing "De Republica Anglorum" between 1562-65, which provided an insightful account of English social institutions, judicial systems, and governmental procedures. The engraving beautifully captures Sir Thomas Smyth's essence and intellectual prowess. He is depicted wearing an elegant robe with fur trimmings and a stylish hat that adds to his dignified appearance. The oval-shaped portrait emphasizes his scholarly nature and highlights his half-length figure. John Goldar skillfully translated Holbein's original masterpiece into this exquisite engraving, showcasing his talent as an artist. This particular print is part of a private collection but has been made available for public viewing through Fine Art Finder. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to witness the brilliance of Sir Thomas Smyth and appreciate the artistic mastery behind this stunning engraving. It serves as a testament to both Smyth's influential role in history and the enduring power of art to capture moments from centuries past.
