self portorit 1577
Nicholas Hilliard was born in 1547 and died in 1619, he was English. His work was conservative in style but very sensitive to the character of the sitter. The colors her used are opaque, and gold is used to heighten the effect, while the paintings are on card. They are often signed, and have frequently also a Latin motto upon them.
He had a reputation because of his work as "the central artistic figure of the Elizabethan age, the only English painter whose work reflects, in its delicate microcosm, the world of Shakespeare's earlier plays."
