1545 1596 Admiral Buttons Circumnavigator Francis Lacy Oval Goldar
EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the bold and adventurous spirit of Sir Francis Drake, the renowned English admiral and circumnavigator of the world. Born in 1545, Drake rose to prominence during the golden age of seafaring, embarking on numerous voyages that expanded England's maritime power and secured its place as a major global player. The oval print, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, showcases Drake in all his glory. He is depicted wearing an elegant laced collar, a sign of his high rank, and a voluminous beard that frames his strong, determined face. His collar is adorned with intricate gold buttons, adding an air of opulence and sophistication to the image. Drake's piercing gaze and confident posture exude a sense of leadership and determination. His hand rests casually on the hilt of his sword, a reminder of the danger and uncertainty that came with exploring the unknown waters of the world. The portrait is a testament to Drake's legendary status as a seafaring hero. In 1577, he embarked on a daring circumnavigation of the globe, becoming the first Englishman to achieve this feat. His journey took him through treacherous waters and unfamiliar lands, and his success cemented his place in history as an intrepid explorer and a symbol of English naval power. Despite his many accomplishments, Drake's life was not without controversy. He was known to be a privateer, or a legalized pirate, and his raids on Spanish ships and settlements brought him both wealth and infamy. Nevertheless, his exploits continued to inspire awe and admiration, and he remains a figure of fascination and intrigue to this day. This stunning portrait provides a glimpse into the life of a man who defied the odds and left an indelible mark on history. Sir Francis Drake, the English admiral and circumnavigator of the world, will forever be remembered as a bold and daring explorer, a naval hero, and a symbol of English maritime power.
