EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the solemn beauty of "The Tombs of Queen Philippa and Queen Eleanor" at Westminster Abbey. Plate 51 from the renowned collection, this image showcases the exquisite craftsmanship and intricate details that make these tombs a true masterpiece. Engraved by J. Bluck in the early 19th century, this aquatint perfectly conveys the medieval Gothic style that defines these historic monuments. The effigies of Queen Philippa and Queen Eleanor are depicted with remarkable precision, their regal presence emanating from every line etched on paper. Queen Philippa, wife of King Edward III, was known for her intelligence and compassion during her reign in England. Her tomb is adorned with delicate carvings reflecting her noble character and influence on English society. On the other hand, Queen Eleanor's tomb represents her connection to Aquitaine through its ornate design elements inspired by French Gothic artistry. As one of England's most influential queens consort during medieval times, she left an indelible mark on history. This print transports us back in time to witness these magnificent tombs up close. It allows us to appreciate not only their historical significance but also the skillful artistry involved in creating such grand memorials. As part of The Stapleton Collection housed within a private collection today, this image serves as a testament to our rich cultural heritage and reminds us of the lasting legacy left behind by these remarkable women.
