EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait print showcases Richard Cox, a prominent figure in English history. Bishop of Ely from 1559 to 1581, Cox was not only an ecclesiastical leader but also served as almoner to the king during his time. The artist, Sarah Countess of Essex, skillfully captured his dignified presence and spiritual aura through her use of watercolor and gouache on paper. In this painting, Cox is depicted wearing a traditional 16th-century costume with a magnificent ruff collar that adds an air of elegance to his appearance. His well-groomed moustache and beard further enhance his distinguished demeanor. As the tutor to Edward VI, he played a crucial role in shaping the young king's education and religious beliefs. Cox's influence extended beyond the royal court; he drew up the prayer book used by Protestants during this period and was associated with the Protestant Frankfurt Group. This portrait serves as a testament to his significant contributions as both a spiritual leader and scholar during the Tudor era. The fine details captured by Bridgeman Images allow us to appreciate not only Cox's physical features but also gain insight into his character and importance within English society at that time. It is truly remarkable how art can transport us back in time, allowing us glimpses into historical figures who shaped our world centuries ago.
