EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the essence of Robert Rich, Second Earl of Warwick, a prominent figure in English history during the 17th century. Painted by Anthony van Dyck between 1632 and 1635, this oil on canvas print showcases Rich's commanding presence and aristocratic demeanor. Standing at an impressive height of 208x128 cm, the painting is housed in the prestigious Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. The intricate details are evident as we observe the richly embroidered curtain backdrop and meticulously crafted armor that symbolize his noble status. Robert Rich played a significant role in shaping early American colonization. Known for establishing companies in Virginia and the Caribbean, he contributed to the settlement of Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island. During England's turbulent Civil War period, he aligned himself with Parliament but faced challenges due to his reluctance to support abolishing monarchy. As a naval commander during this time, Rich displayed great skill and wealth through his elegant lace attire. However, conflicting loyalties led him to be relieved from public service during the Commonwealth era. This portrait not only portrays a man who held immense power but also serves as a reminder of England's colonial ambitions and its impact on America's early development. It stands as a testament to Robert Rich's legacy as both colonizer and naval leader amidst political turmoil.
