Getting started with the collection:
Portraits of Sir Thomas Gresham and Anne Fernely
Anthonis Mor, c. 1560 - c. 1565
Sir Thomas Gresham (1519–1579) was the leading English merchant in Antwerp and also the English king’s financial agent in the Low Countries. He and his wife, Anne Fernely, are expensively, yet soberly dressed. Their status is also evident in their choice of painter: Anthonis Mor was one of the pre-eminent portraitists of his day and court painter to the Spanish king.
