EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait print showcases Eleanor Stewart, a notable figure from Scottish history. Born in 1458 as the daughter of James II of Scotland, she lived a relatively short life until her untimely death in 1480. Painted by an anonymous artist from the Austrian School during the 16th century, this oil on paper masterpiece measures at a modest size of 10.5x13.5 cm. Eleanor's portrait exudes an air of regality and elegance despite its small dimensions. Adorned with a crown atop her head, she proudly represents her royal lineage as part of the Stuart family. However, historical accounts describe Eleanor as being unattractive or "ugly" which adds an intriguing layer to this artwork. Housed within the prestigious Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna, Austria, this painting is part of Ferdinand von Tirol's esteemed collection. Its presence within such a renowned institution speaks volumes about its artistic significance and cultural value. As we gaze upon this posthumous portrayal of Eleanor Stewart, we are transported back to a time when power and beauty were intertwined with political influence and familial ties. This image serves as both a testament to Eleanor's place in history and as an exploration into society's perception of physical appearance during that era.
