Cardinal Wolsey and the Duke of Buckingham, by John Gilbert, in the Gallery of the British Institution, 1862. Engraving of a painting. 'In his contribution to the British Institution Exhibition Mr. Gilbert produces an historical work of more importance, and of more ambitious aim than any that we recollect to have seen by his hand. The figures are more numerous than is usual with the artist, and the incident is one which gives occasion for a peculiar mode of treatment. The passage is that in the first scene of Shakspeare's "Henry VIII", in which the Dukes of Norfolk and Buckingham are interrupted in the midst of discontented discourse by the appearance of Cardinal Wolsey, preceded and surrounded by his state. The haughty, impetuous noble and the insolent and vindictive Churchman are thus brought into hostile contact, as described in the dialogue which ensues...Duke of Norfolk to Buckingham: "Lo! Where comes that rock, that I advise you shunning"...Buckinham: "This butcher's cur is venom-mouthed, and I have not the power to muzzle him...".' From "Illustrated London News", 1862.
