Thomas Wentworth, 1. Earl of Strafford (1593-1641), Chefberater von König Karl I. von England im Vorfeld des Englischen Bürgerkriegs. Der König unterzeichnete Straffords Todesurteil widerwillig, um das Parlament zu besänftigen. Strafford, der laut Aussage bitter "vertraut den Prinzen nicht" gesagt hat, wurde im Mai 1641 in London hingerichtet. Der König vergab sich nie, was er als Verrat an einem Mann sah, den er beschützen wollte. Quadratische Gravur, die in den 1700er Jahren von Jacobus Houbraken (1698 - 1780) nach einem Porträt von Sir Anthony van Dyck (1599 - 1641) erstellt wurde.

Thomas Wentworth, 1st Earl of Strafford (1593-1641). Square detail of an original copperplate engraving by Dutch engraver, Jacobus Houbraken (1698 - 1780), after an original portrait by Sir Anthony van Dyck (1599-1641). This engraving was first used in a verse history of the English Civil Wars by Edward Ward (1667 - 1731), 'History of the Grand Rebellion’ published in 1713. The engraving was then re-used, with plate number added, in later editions of the 'History of the Rebellion and Civil Wars in England' by Edward Hyde, Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs to King Charles I, who was later raised to the peerage as 1st Earl of Clarendon. Strafford was a powerful English statesman and hugely controversial figure during the political and religious turmoil that led to the outbreak of the first English Civil War in 1642. As chief adviser to King Charles I, he urged strong measures to control Parliament and was seen as a threat to it. Parliament voted to impeach Strafford and the King, reluctantly, signed his death warrant. On being told he would die, Strafford is said to have remarked bitterly “put not your trust in Princes”. He was executed in London in May 1641. The King never forgave himself for what he saw as a betrayal of a man he had promised to protect. Michael van der Gucht was born in Antwerp and came to London in about 1690 where he was largely employed in engraving title pages and portraits for booksellers. Sir Anthony van Dyck was the most influential painter to have worked in Britain during the 17th century. Flemish by birth, he found patronage in a number of European countries, but his longest stay was in England, which he made his home from the beginning of 1632. D1318.B5717.A
