EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving showcases the esteemed figure of John Howard, 1st Duke of Norfolk. Dating back to the 19th century, this print captures the essence of a man who played a significant role in British history. As a close friend and unwavering supporter of King Richard III, Howard's loyalty knew no bounds. The portrait exudes an air of nobility and strength, reflecting his influential position as both a soldier and politician during the Renaissance era. His piercing gaze hints at the determination that propelled him to great heights within society. Known as the "Jockey of Norfolk". Howard's legacy extends beyond his political prowess. He was renowned for his equestrian skills, which earned him this distinctive moniker. This aspect adds another layer to his multifaceted character, showcasing not only his military might but also his finesse on horseback. Tragically, it was on the battlefield where Howard met his untimely demise. The Battle of Bosworth claimed both him and King Richard III in their valiant fight for what they believed in. This remarkable engraving serves as a poignant reminder of an extraordinary individual whose life intertwined with one of England's most tumultuous periods. Preserved through time by Fine Art Finder from www. bridgemanart. com, this print allows us to delve into history and appreciate the indelible mark left by John Howard upon British nobility and politics alike.
