1665 1702 1714 Angel Anne Chapman Commemorative Oval Pearls Reigned Tiara Tomb
EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the regal presence of Queen Anne (1665-1714), who reigned as Queen of England, Scotland, and Ireland from 1702 until her death in 1714. The oval image, framed in an ornate gold border, showcases Anne's profile, adorned with a magnificent diamond and pearl-encrusted tiara, symbolizing her royal status. Her serene expression and the delicate folds of her gown convey an air of grace and elegance. Beneath the portrait, the image reveals a hauntingly beautiful memorial scene, featuring Queen Anne's tomb, which lies in Westminster Abbey. The intricately carved angel, poised above the tomb, holds a wreath, symbolizing the eternal life of the monarch. The juxtaposition of the living monarch and her memorial serves as a poignant reminder of the transient nature of life and the enduring legacy of those who have ruled. Queen Anne's reign, marked by political instability and war, saw significant events such as the signing of the Treaty of Utrecht, which ended the War of the Spanish Succession. Her personal life was also marked by tragedy, with the loss of 17 pregnancies, only surviving seven children to adulthood. This commemorative portrait, with its striking visual contrast between life and death, stands as a testament to the complex and intriguing history of Queen Anne and her era.
