EDITORS COMMENTS
Mary Tudor, also known as Mary I or Bloody Mary, is depicted in this stunning 16th-century portrait, an evocative reminder of the rich history of the Tudor dynasty in England. Mary, the only daughter of King Henry VIII and Catherine of Aragon, ascended to the throne in 1553 following the death of her brother, Edward VI. Her reign, which lasted from 1553 to 1558, was marked by her attempts to reverse the religious reforms of the Protestant Edwardian period and restore Catholicism as the official religion of England. In this image, Mary Tudor is shown wearing an ornate and sumptuous gown, befitting a queen of her time. The fur-trimmed robe, adorned with intricate jewels and richly embroidered trimmings, exudes an air of opulence and grandeur. Mary's elaborate headdress, adorned with pearls and precious stones, adds to her regal appearance. The cig, or veil, draped over her shoulders and held in place by a jeweled brooch, is a common accessory for Tudor queens and adds an air of mystery and intrigue to the portrait. Mary Tudor's reign was a tumultuous one, marked by religious strife and political instability. She was known for her fierce determination and unwavering commitment to her beliefs, which led to the execution of hundreds of Protestants and earned her the nickname 'Bloody Mary.' Despite this, she is also remembered for her patronage of the arts and her efforts to promote cultural and intellectual pursuits during her reign. This beautiful portrait, taken from the Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time of opulence, intrigue, and political upheaval. It serves as a reminder of the complex and fascinating history of the Tudor dynasty and the indomitable spirit of its queens.
