The Marriage of William Penn and Hannah Callowhill, 1696,1915
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating oil painting that beautifully captures the union of two remarkable individuals. Painted by Ernest Board in 1915, this masterpiece now resides in the Bristol Museum and Art Gallery in the UK. William Penn, an English real estate entrepreneur and philosopher, was not only one of the early Quakers but also the founder of Pennsylvania. His visionary efforts led to the establishment of this English North American colony which would later become the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Hannah Callowhill Penn, his second wife, played a significant role in shaping Pennsylvania's history. After her husband suffered from a series of strokes and eventually passed away, she effectively administered the Province for fourteen years. Her dedication and leadership ensured its prosperity during challenging times. In this painting, we witness their wedding ceremony; a moment filled with love and promise. The artist masterfully portrays both husband and wife as they exchange vows before family and friends. Their expressions reflect joyous anticipation for their shared future together. Board's attention to detail brings life to every brushstroke on canvas - from intricate lace patterns on Hannah's gown to subtle emotions captured on each face present at this sacred event. This print serves as a timeless reminder of love's enduring power throughout history while honoring these influential figures who shaped our world today.
