EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a portrait of Queen Mary I of England, also known as Bloody Mary due to her controversial reign during the 16th century. Created by an unknown artist in 1933, this image is part of the renowned book "Gestalten Der Weltgeschichte" which features cigarette-card portrait miniatures capturing influential figures from the past four centuries. Queen Mary I's stern expression and regal attire are beautifully captured in this circular color photograph. Her headdress exudes elegance and power, emphasizing her status as a monarch. However, behind her royal facade lies a complex historical figure who attempted to reverse the English Reformation through persecution of Protestants. Antonis Mor's original miniature painting serves as the inspiration for this print, highlighting his talent for portraiture during that era. The juxtaposition between the 16th-century subject matter and its presentation in a 20th-century medium adds depth to this piece. As we delve into history through this remarkable photograph, it reminds us of Queen Mary I's significant impact on religion and politics during her rule. This visual representation invites contemplation about religious conflicts, power dynamics within monarchy, and their enduring influence on society. The inclusion of this image in "Gestalten Der Weltgeschichte" speaks volumes about its historical significance and cultural value. It allows us to appreciate not only Queen Mary I but also other prominent individuals who have shaped our world over centuries gone by.
