Queen Mary,
EDITORS COMMENTS
a captivating black and white portrait by Sir Anthony More, was first exhibited at the Tudor Exhibition in 1890. The image, published in "The Graphic: An Illustrated Weekly Newspaper," presents Mary I of England and Ireland, also known as Bloody Mary, in a powerful and regal pose. Dressed in the rich attire of the Tudor era, the monarch gazes directly at the camera with an unwavering intensity, her dark eyes piercing through the veil of time. Mary I, the sole surviving child of King Henry VIII and Catherine of Aragon, ascended to the throne in 1553 following her brother Edward VI's death. Her reign was marked by her attempts to reverse the religious reforms initiated during her brother's rule and restore Catholicism as the dominant faith in England. This period became known as the Marian Persecutions, as hundreds of Protestants were executed for their refusal to convert. The portrait by Sir Anthony More, whose full name was Antonis Mor van Dashorst, captures the essence of Mary I's strong-willed and determined character. More, also known as Antonio Moro or Sir Anthony More, was a Flemish painter who spent most of his career in England. His mastery of the technique of chiaroscuro, the use of strong contrasts between light and dark, is evident in this striking portrait of the queen. The image, a testament to the artistic and historical significance of the Tudor era, continues to captivate viewers with its powerful depiction of a monarch who defied the odds and ruled during one of the most tumultuous periods in English history.
