EDITORS COMMENTS
Cremona Fidelissima et Nobilissima Colonia: A Tribute to the Devotion and Nobility of Cremona, the Roman Colony Par Excellence, as Depicted in a 16th Century Engraving This stunning engraving, taken from the Book of Antonio Campo, published in 1585, pays homage to the loyalty and nobility of the Italian city of Cremona, which was considered a Roman colonia, or colonized city. The image features the portraits of four prominent queens of the time, each representing a significant European power: Maria Manuela, Princess of Portugal, Mary I of England, Elizabeth of Valois, and Anna of Austria. Maria Manuela, depicted on the far left, is shown in profile, wearing a richly adorned headdress and a flowing robe. She was the eldest daughter of King Sebastian I of Portugal and the last of the Aviz dynasty. Mary I of England, in the center, is shown in three-quarter view, wearing a crown and a richly embroidered gown. She was the Queen of England from 1553 to 1558 and the last monarch of the Tudor dynasty. Elizabeth of Valois, on the right, is depicted in profile, wearing a veil and a simple yet elegant gown. She was the sister of King Henry III of France and was married to Philip II of Spain. Anna of Austria, the youngest queen in the image, is shown in three-quarter view, wearing a crown and a sumptuous robe. She was the daughter of Archduke Ferdinand II of Austria and was married to Philip II of Spain. The engraving, which is rich in color and detail, is a testament to the artistic and cultural achievements of the late 16th century. It is a reminder of the complex web of alliances and political relationships that existed during this period, as well as the enduring influence of the Roman colonies on European identity and history.
