Thomas Sackville (1536-1608) was an influential English statesman, poet, and dramatist, whose portrait was painted by the renowned court artist John de Critz. Sackville, the 1st Earl of Dorset, played a significant role in the political and cultural life of Elizabethan and early Jacobean England. Born into a prominent family, he was educated at Oxford and Cambridge, and later studied law at the Inner Temple. His political career was marked by his service as a Member of Parliament, his appointment as Lord Treasurer, and his involvement in various diplomatic missions.

Sackville's contributions to literature are equally noteworthy. He is best remembered for his collaboration with Thomas Norton on the play "Gorboduc" (also known as "Ferrex and Porrex"), which is considered the first English tragedy written in blank verse. This work had a profound influence on the development of English Renaissance drama. Additionally, Sackville's poetic talents are exemplified in his contributions to "A Mirror for Magistrates," a collection of poems that reflect on the lives and fates of historical figures.

John de Critz, the artist behind Sackville's portrait, was a Flemish-born painter who became one of the most prominent portraitists at the English court. Appointed Serjeant Painter to King James I, de Critz was known for his meticulous attention to detail and his ability to capture the character and status of his subjects. The portrait of Thomas Sackville by John de Critz is a testament to Sackville's stature and influence, as well as de Critz's skill as a court painter. This artwork not only immortalizes Sackville's likeness but also serves as a valuable historical document, offering insights into the fashion, aesthetics, and cultural values of the period.
