Anthony Maria Browne, Second Viscount Montagu

Artist: Robert Peake the Elder (English, ca. 1551–1619)

Date: ca. 1590

Medium: Oil on canvas

Collection: Yale Center for British Art, New Haven, Connecticut, United States

Description

Browne was a Catholic at a time when plots against Elizabeth I, a Protestant, had created a climate of suspicion toward those loyal to Rome. A visual essay in stoicism, this painting captures the defiance of a man who felt unjustly persecuted for his beliefs and wrongfully accused of treason.
