Description: | According to the inscription, Francis Creswicke's portrait was painted in 1630 when he was forty-six years old. In 1645 Creswicke was made Mayor of Bristol, although his period of tenure was cut short. A few weeks after Bristol had fallen to the Parliamentarians on 11 September 1645, Creswicke and other members of the Council were dismissed from office. The Ordinance of the Houses of Parliament of 28 October stated that Creswicke and his colleagues had 'become very much disaffected to the Proceedings of Parliament and [...] active to promote the Designs of the Enemy '. | Subjects: | portrait (Creswicke Francis) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Dutch School Æ Previously attributed to Flessiers, Willem (Dutch painter, active ca. 1627) Previously attributed to Keyser, Thomas de (Dutch painter and architect, born 1596 or 1597, died 1667) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8885... | Go to resource |
