EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating Seal of Empress Matilda, captured in this exquisite engraving from the 12th century, transports us back to a time of regal splendor and power. The English School artist skillfully depicts Empress Matilda, daughter of King Henry I of England and mother to the future King Henry II. In this portrait, we see a dignified queen seated upon her throne, radiating an air of authority and grace. Her regalia symbolizes her royal lineage as she proudly wears the emblem that represents her status as Empress. The intricate details etched into the seal showcase the craftsmanship and artistry prevalent during this era. Empress Matilda's life was marked by political alliances through marriage; she wedded both Henry V, Holy Roman Emperor, and Geoffrey of Anjou. Despite facing numerous challenges throughout her lifetime, including a tumultuous struggle for power known as "The Anarchy" she remained steadfast in asserting her claim to the English throne. Also known as Maude among those closest to her, Empress Matilda left an indelible mark on history with her determination and resilience. This print serves not only as a testament to her legacy but also offers us a glimpse into medieval royalty. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork from Bridgeman Images' private collection today, we are reminded of Empress Matilda's enduring influence on British history—a true embodiment of strength and nobility.
