Über das Gemälde
Isaac Oliver learned miniature painting techniques from Nicholas Hilliard (1547-1619), probably around 1587, but had undoubtedly already had some training in art on the Continent. This miniature of Sir Arundel Talbot dating from 1596 is inscribed with a note by Oliver explaining that it was painted when he was in Venice. This visit to Italy was unusual for an English artist, but it is notable that Oliver signed the work "Francese IO", emphasising his French birth. Oliver's knowledge of Continental art is apparent in a number of his miniatures.
This work shows what might have been achieved after two of the three customary sittings, working directly onto the vellum. The features have begun to be modelled over the carnation colour, using hatches of red and brown, but more detail is needed. The card support for the miniature has not been trimmed, and details of Talbot’s outfit are incomplete.
