William Parker, fifth or first Baron Monteagle (1575-1622),
attributed to John de Critz the elder, c. 1615. Berger Collection
Education Trust at the Denver Art MuseumThis painting
of Lord Monteagle makes him look very serious and powerful.
The artist has done this by painting a dark background, the
beautiful golden embroidery and a steady, stern expression.
Monteagle was rewarded for his part in the discovery of the
Gunpowder Plot
with land and a pension. He died in 1622.
