John Whitgift, D.D., Archbishop of Canterbury is a 1620 ink by Willem de Passe, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The image depicts a man with a beard and a hat, wearing a robe with a high collar. He is shown from the chest up, with his hands clasped together in front of him. The background is a dark, textured surface. The man's facial expression is serious, and his eyes seem to be looking directly at the viewer. The engraving technique used to create the image is evident in the intricate details of the man's clothing and the texture of the background. This image is an example of a Baroque-style portrait, characterized by its use of dramatic lighting and detailed textures. For more information on this style, look up the Baroque movement.
Willem de Passe (1598–1637) was an artist, born in Cologne.
