Sir Henry Spelman by Cornelius Jonson is a notable portrait of the distinguished English antiquary and historian, Sir Henry Spelman. Painted by the renowned artist Cornelius Jonson, also known as Cornelius Janssens van Ceulen, this artwork exemplifies the skill and finesse of one of the leading portraitists of the early 17th century. Jonson, who was of Flemish descent, became a prominent figure in the English art scene, particularly known for his detailed and lifelike representations of his subjects.

Sir Henry Spelman (1562–1641) was a significant figure in the study of English law and antiquities. His contributions to the understanding of medieval English history and ecclesiastical law were profound, with works such as "Glossarium Archaiologicum" and "Concilia, Decreta, Leges, Constitutiones, in Re Ecclesiarum Orbis Britannici" cementing his reputation as a leading scholar of his time. The portrait by Jonson captures Spelman in his later years, reflecting both his scholarly demeanor and his status as a respected intellectual.

The painting is characterized by Jonson's meticulous attention to detail and his ability to convey the personality and status of his sitter. Spelman is depicted with a thoughtful expression, indicative of his scholarly pursuits. The use of light and shadow, as well as the careful rendering of textures, such as the fabric of Spelman's attire and the intricate details of his facial features, showcase Jonson's mastery in portraiture.

This portrait not only serves as a visual record of Sir Henry Spelman but also as a testament to the artistic achievements of Cornelius Jonson. It remains an important piece within the context of 17th-century English art, reflecting the intersection of intellectual history and visual culture. The work is held in high regard and continues to be studied and admired for its historical and artistic significance.
