The Warming Pan Baby - A Satirical Commentary on Royal Succession
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This engraving, known as "The Warming Pan Baby" offers a fascinating glimpse into the political climate of late 17th century England. Created by an anonymous Dutch artist from the 17th century, this print captures a moment that fueled controversy and conspiracy theories surrounding the birth of Prince James Francis Edward Stewart in 1688. At the heart of this image lies a powerful satire aimed at many Tories who believed that the baby prince was an imposter smuggled into the birthing chamber. The midwife's warming pan became a symbol of deception, while others went so far as to suggest that his real father was a miller, hence his playful grasp on a windmill. Peering through curtains with curiosity is none other than James II himself, adding intrigue to this already contentious narrative. Meanwhile, mother Mary of Modena stands beside her son in a gesture of blessing, perhaps seeking to dispel doubts about their legitimacy. This engraving serves not only as political commentary but also reflects deep divisions within English society during this time. It sheds light on hypochondriacs and Jacobites who supported Roman Catholicism and questioned the rightful heir to the English throne. As we delve into this historical artifact captured by Bridgeman Art Gallery's collection, it reminds us how art can be used to convey complex narratives and challenge prevailing beliefs – even centuries after its creation.
