Dyce, William (1806-1864) - George Herbert at Bemerton 1861

This picture by William Dyce shows George Herbert the poet in his rectory garden by the river Nadder, neatly dressed in his cassock and with a finger holding the place in his prayer-book. The spire of Salisbury Cathedral is in the background. Fishing-tackle by a tree reminds us that Izaak Walton, author of The Compleat Angler (1653), was Herbert's first biographer.
