EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the regal presence of James I, the first King of Great Britain. Painted by George Vertue in the 17th century, this portrait captures the essence of a powerful monarch who ruled both Scotland and England during his lifetime. James I's commanding figure is depicted with a full beard, wearing an elaborate lace ruff that symbolizes his status as royalty. Holding an orb and sceptre, he exudes authority and sovereignty over his realm. The intricate details in his dress highlight the opulence associated with kingship during this period. The artist skillfully portrays James I's dual identity as both an English king and a Scottish ruler. His bearded countenance reflects his Scottish heritage while also embodying the elegance expected from an English monarch. Paulus van Somer, another renowned artist involved in creating this print, adds depth to James I's likeness through careful engraving techniques. Together, Vertue and Van Somer have created a masterpiece that immortalizes one of history's most influential figures. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork today, we are transported back to a time when monarchy held immense power and influence over nations. This print serves as a testament to King James I's enduring legacy as well as the artistic talent of George Vertue and Paulus van Somer.
