Summary
[edit]DescriptionIlluminated membrane, with portrait of Elizabeth, 1572.jpg |
English: Illuminated initial membrane, with portrait of Elizabeth I, Court of King's Bench: Coram Rege Roll (Easter Term, 1572).
This example, in which the queen wears a red cap, was executed by the same artist as that for Michaelmas 1571. Art historian Erna Auerbach speculated that "the unusual absence of the crown suggests a painter who was not accustomed to paint the picture of the Queen within the initial of a legal document"; she added that it is difficult to connect the two portraits with other well-known portraits of the queen. (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. 123–24.) |
