A bishop and statesman, Foxe was in charge of Henry VII's administration early in his reign, and undertook important negotiations on his behalf, including the marriage of Prince Arthur and Catherine of Aragon. He was a powerful influence on Henry VIII in his early years. This late sixteenth-century portrait is a version derived from a design by the artist Johannes Corvus in the first half of the century. It was common for patterns to be copied and reproduced in this way in the Tudor period. The painting shown alongside is a much later version of the same portrait type, demonstrating that there was also a demand for copies of Tudor portraits into the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Unfortunately, like many paintings on wooden panel, this portrait has suffered from paint loss and vertical splits in the wood over time.
