EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Catherine of Braganza, the queen consort of England and wife to King Charles II during the 17th century. In this exquisite portrait, she is depicted seated on the chair of state, adorned in pearls and draped in elegant white satin. The artist, B. Holl, skillfully captures her regal presence and beauty. Painted around 1662-4 by renowned portraitist Sir Peter Lely, this steel engraving by B. Holl offers a glimpse into the Victorian era's fascination with historical figures from the Restoration period. It was featured in Mrs Anna Jameson's Memoirs of the Beauties of the Court of King Charles the Second, published in London in 1838. Catherine played a significant role as queen consort during a tumultuous time in English history. Her marriage to Charles II helped solidify alliances between England and Portugal while bringing cultural influences from her homeland to court. This print serves as a testament to Catherine's enduring legacy as an influential figure within British royalty. With its intricate details and refined composition, it invites viewers to appreciate both her personal charm and her impact on society at that time. As we admire this remarkable piece from Fine Art Finder's collection by Bridgeman Images, we are transported back centuries ago when queens held immense power and grace within their roles as consorts to kings.
