THOMAS WOLSEY death scene | requested by anon

"I shall not see its gates, Lord. Nor hear your sweet words of salvation. I have seen eternity, I swear... but it was only a dream, and in the morning all was gone. I know myself for what I am, and I throw my poor soul upon your forgiveness. In the full knowledge that I deserve none at your loving hands."

Cardinal Wolsey: A Life In 9 Artworks

I won't lie I love history and I have been re-watching a lot of the Tudors which brought on the inspiration for this blog.

So Cardinal Wolsey’s life, marked by immense power and ultimate downfall, has inspired numerous artworks.

These pieces offer a visual chronicle of his journey from glory to despair, allowing modern viewers to witness pivotal moments of his life.

This artwork marks Wolsey’s early rise, depicting his procession to Westminster Hall in 1515 when he became a cardinal. Gilbert, fascinated by Wolsey, frequently revisited his life in art, capturing significant moments. In this piece, Wolsey holds a pomander, reflecting his historical concern with disease prevention.

This painting highlights the close relationship between Wolsey and King Henry VIII. The Cardinal appears focused and diligent beside a relaxed and trusting Henry, illustrating their bond during Wolsey's height of influence.

This detailed artwork portrays the grand summit between England and France in 1520, organized by Wolsey. Though the scene is a composite, it captures the event’s opulence. Wolsey, depicted modestly beside King Henry, orchestrated this massive and ultimately politically futile event.

This piece illustrates the intense rivalry between Wolsey and Buckingham, culminating in the Duke’s execution in 1521. Gilbert captures their mutual animosity in a chance encounter, with expressive faces revealing their deep-seated hatred.

Lucas’s painting reflects Wolsey’s fall from grace. Depicted with King Henry and Thomas Cramner, Wolsey’s sorrow is palpable as he faces his downfall, highlighted by the ominous presence of a raven, symbolizing his imminent demise.

A satirical take on Wolsey’s forced resignation in 1529, this drawing shows him tearfully handing over the Great Seal. Originally intended for humour, it underscores the poignancy of his loss of power and favour with the King.

Depicting Wolsey’s final moments in 1530, this engraving shows him surrounded by loyal companions at Leicester Abbey. Cavendish, his faithful servant, is depicted weeping at his side, highlighting the Cardinal’s tragic end.

This simple sketch from Wolsey’s biography captures his solemn burial at Leicester Abbey. Despite the crude execution, it serves as a historical record of his final resting place, though its exact location remains a mystery.

In this compilation of eminent British figures, Wolsey is honoured alongside historical greats. Created 150 years after his death, this miniature portrayal underscores his lasting significance in English history.

These nine artworks encapsulate Cardinal Wolsey’s dramatic life, from his meteoric rise to his tragic fall, immortalizing his legacy in vivid detail. I honestly find him a fascinating character of history.

#OTD in 1649 – Death of Owen Roe O’Neill.

Eoghan Rua Ó Néill, anglicised as Owen Roe O’Neill “Red Owen”, was a seventeenth century soldier and one of the most famous of the O’Neill family of Ulster. An Irish rebel commander during a major Roman Catholic revolt (1641–52) against English rule in Ireland; his victory at Benburb, on 5 June 1646, was one of the few significant rebel triumphs of the uprising. A nephew of the renowned Irish…

'...06 of 20 “Peaky Blinders” (2013–2022)

Set in the gritty world of post-WWI Birmingham, England, Peaky Blinders is a crime drama about Thomas Shelby (a riveting Cillian Murphy), the cunning and ruthless leader of a brutal family gang named for their tactic of sewing razor blades in the peaks of their newsboy caps. Always up for a fight, Tommy goes to war against competing gangs, cops, politicians, and anyone who gets in the way of building his empire. The show is structured around the rhythm of Tommy's speech, with short bursts of sharp dialogue propelling the characters forward to the next inevitable (and devastating) confrontation.

Where to watch Peaky Blinders: Netflix

Cast: Cillian Murphy, Sam Neill, Helen McCrory, Paul Anderson...'

Assassin Club (15): Like something in the film, a bit of a damp squib.

#onemannsmovies review of "Assassin Club" (2023). #AssassinClub. Weak B-movie Wick-wannabe that's a bit of a damp squib. 2.5/5.

A One Mann’s Movies review of “Assassin Club” (2023). We seem to have a slew of films about global assassination groups this month. From “John Wick Chapter 4” through “Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre” to now “Assassin Club”. While this tries to go for the glossy trappings of those first two films, this one looks more “Bean” than “Bond” or “Bourne”. Bob the Movie Man Rating: Plot…
