Tomb of the Infant Daughter of James I, in Westminster Abbey, 1857. Creator: Unknown
Tomb of the Infant Daughter of James I, in Westminster Abbey, 1857. Sophia Stuart, daughter of King James VI and I and Anne of Denmark, was born on 22 June 22 1606 and died the next day, on 23 June. The monument was designed by Maximilian Colt and painted and gilded by John de Critz. In the north aisle of Henry VII.'s Chapel...is [a] simple and somewhat appropriate tomb... This monument...is in shape like the old-fashioned cradle, and is composed of cream-coloured marble; parts are ornamented with the richly-carved diaper pattern so much in use in the days of Queen Elizabeth and King James. In the cradle, the head resting on a cushion, is the effigy of the little child, very finely sculptured, and which looks like a portrait. Over the lower part of the figure is a coverlet, also covered with profuse ornament. The whole has probably been highly coloured and gilt, and must have had a very beautiful effect'. From "Illustrated London News", 1857

EDITORS COMMENTS
The Tomb of the Infant Daughter of James I, located in the north aisle of Henry VII's Chapel at Westminster Abbey, is a poignant reminder of the fragility of life. The tomb, which dates back to 1607, was designed by Maximilian Colt and beautifully painted and gilded by John de Critz. The monument is shaped like an old-fashioned cradle, made of cream-colored marble, intricately adorned with the diaper pattern that was popular during the Elizabethan and Jacobean eras. At the center of the cradle rests the effigy of the infant daughter of King James VI and I, Queen Anne of Denmark. Born on June 22, 1606, the child, named Sophia Stuart, unfortunately passed away the following day. The lifelike sculpture of the little girl, with her head resting on a cushion, is a heart-wrenching representation of the fragility of life. The lower part of the figure is covered with a richly ornamented coverlet, adding to the elegance of the tomb. Although the tomb has likely been highly colored and gilded, the passage from the "Illustrated London News" of 1857 describes it as having had a 'very beautiful effect'. This simple yet appropriate monument continues to captivate visitors to Westminster Abbey, serving as a poignant reminder of the fleeting nature of life.
