Summary
[edit]DescriptionIlluminated initial membrane, with portrait of Elizabeth, 1589.jpg |
English: Illuminated initial membrane, with portrait of Elizabeth I, Court of King's Bench: Coram Rege Roll (Easter Term, 1589).
Art historian Erna Auerbach showed that from 1585, a standard portrait type was used for the queen's image on the Court Rolls and the Great Seal; this image of 1589 is a typical example. In describing the very similar portrait on the Easter Roll of 1586, Auerbach listed the formal elements of the design: "Throne, canopy, attitude and arrangement of the robes have become strongly formalized ... The costume on the illumination is formalized in the same manner as on the Seal; it consists of the triangular pointed stomacher, the wide coat, the merely indicated knees, the wheel-shaped ruff. The illumination and the Seal show the square cushion under the feet and the volutes decorating throne and canopy ... The royal likeness on the Plea Rolls in fact remained during this period almost as unchanged as the likeness which, during the same period, was reproduced many times in wax by the impression of the Great Seal". (Reference: Erna Auerbach, Tudor Artists: A Study of Painters in the Royal Service and of Portraiture on Illuminated Documents from the Accession of Henry VIII to the Death of Elizabeth I, London: Athlone Press, 1954, pp. 130–31.) |
