EDITORS COMMENTS
This detailed print captures a remarkable work of art known as the "Gilt and enamel reliquary with emblems of the Four Evangelists". Created in 1554 by Hans Eworth or Ewoutsz, this oil on oak masterpiece is currently housed in the Society of Antiquaries of London, UK. The reliquary holds immense historical and religious significance. Originally listed in 1521 as part of Mary I's father, Henry VIII's collection of jewels, it was referred to as the "Tablet de Burbyone". Mary I, who reigned from 1553 to 1558, prominently displayed this reliquary in an official portrait during her first year as queen. This choice symbolized her strong religious agenda and devotion. During a time when relics were banned and destroyed by both Mary's father and brother (Edward VI), this relic-filled artwork served as a powerful statement. It represents traditional Catholicism and piety while honoring the Four Evangelists - Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John - prominent figures from the New Testament. As we delve into Tudor history through this painting, we gain insight into Mary I's commitment to upholding Catholic traditions amidst changing times. The intricate details within this piece showcase not only artistic skill but also serve as a testament to faith that transcends generations.
