EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the regal and enigmatic Queen Mary I, painted in 1554 by Hans Eworth or Ewoutsz. The oil on oak artwork, measuring 104 x 78.5 cm, is housed at the Society of Antiquaries of London in the UK. Queen Mary I, also known as Bloody Mary, reigned over England from 1553 to 1558. In this portrait, she exudes power and piety with her striking presence and elaborate attire. Hanging from her girdle is a magnificent gilt and enamel reliquary adorned with emblems representing the Four Evangelists. The painting also highlights two significant pieces of jewelry worn by Queen Mary I. A diamond rests upon her breast, gifted to her by Emperor Charles V. Additionally, she wears a pendant pearl called La Pelegrina—a Valentine's present given to her by actor Richard Burton in 1969. Notably religious symbols are incorporated into this masterpiece; an embroidery featuring a tau cross can be seen adorning Queen Mary's gown. This emphasizes her devout Catholic faith during a time when England was undergoing religious turmoil. With its intricate details and rich symbolism, this portrait offers us a glimpse into the life of one of Britain's most controversial monarchs—the first queen regnant in English history—Queen Mary I.
