EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative portrait captures the regal presence of James I (1566-1625), also known as James VI of Scotland, during his reign as King of England and King of Scotland from 1603 until his death. Born in Scotland, James ascended to the Scottish throne at the age of just thirteen months, and later, in 1603, he succeeded to the English throne upon the death of Queen Elizabeth I. This image, created during James's reign, showcases his mature and commanding demeanor. James I is depicted wearing the robes of the Order of the Garter, a prestigious English chivalric order, signifying his position as monarch. His regal attire is adorned with intricate gold embroidery, symbolizing his wealth and power. The king's gaze is steady and confident, reflecting his belief in the divine right of kings. The background of the portrait is simple, with a plain, dark fabric, allowing the focus to remain on James's striking features and the intricacies of his clothing. The artist, Ronjat, skillfully captures the subtle details, from the delicate folds of the fabric to the subtle highlights on James's face. James I's reign was marked by a number of significant events, including the union of the English and Scottish crowns, the establishment of the King James Version of the Bible, and the Gunpowder Plot. This portrait serves as a powerful reminder of the complex and intriguing history of the early modern period in Britain. This image, from Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a captivating glimpse into the past, providing a window into the life and reign of one of Scotland and England's most influential monarchs.
