Thomas Wentworth, 1st conte di Strafford (1593 - 1641), consigliere capo del re Carlo i d'Inghilterra nel periodo che si è tenuto prima della guerra civile inglese. Il re firmò a malincuore il mandato di morte di Strafford in un vano tentativo di pacificare il Parlamento. Strafford, che si dice abbia rimarcato amaramente “non fidarsi dei principi”, è stato giustiziato a Londra nel maggio 1641. Il re non si perdonò mai per quello che vedeva come tradimento di un uomo che aveva promesso di proteggere. Incisione creata negli anni '1700s da Jacobus Houbraken (1698 - 1780), dopo un ritratto di Sir Anthony van Dyck (1599 - 1641).

Thomas Wentworth, 1st Earl of Strafford (1593-1641). 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
