EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative portrait captures the distinguished visage of Henry Robinson (1553-1616), the revered Bishop of Carlisle during the tumultuous era of Elizabethan England. The image, created in the late 16th century, showcases Robinson's wisdom and piety, with his piercing gaze and intricately adorned episcopal vestments. Born in Yorkshire, England, Robinson rose through the ranks of the Church of England, serving as a chaplain to Queen Elizabeth I and eventually being appointed Bishop of Carlisle in 1597. His tenure was marked by his unwavering commitment to the faith and his dedication to the welfare of his diocese. During this time, England was embroiled in religious and political turmoil, with the threat of Catholic rebellion and the ongoing debate over the role of the Church in society. Robinson played a crucial role in maintaining order and promoting religious harmony within his diocese. He was a staunch supporter of the Elizabethan Settlement, which sought to establish a stable and unified Church of England. Despite the challenges of his time, Robinson remained a steadfast figure of authority and compassion. He was known for his charitable works, including the establishment of a school in Carlisle and the support of the poor and needy within his diocese. This portrait serves as a powerful reminder of the resilience and determination of religious leaders during a time of great upheaval. It also highlights the importance of faith and compassion in the face of adversity, values that continue to resonate with us today.
