EDITORS COMMENTS
This image portrays Philippa of Hainault (1315-1369), the beloved wife of King Edward III of England, who reigned from 1327 to 1377. Daughter of William I, Count of Holland and Hainault, Philippa was a significant figure in medieval European history. Philippa is depicted in this print with a regal and serene expression, wearing a richly decorated robe and holding a falcon in her hand. The falcon, a symbol of nobility and power, reflects her noble lineage and her husband's status as king. The intricate details of her clothing and the delicate feathers of the bird show the skillful artistry of the printmaker. Philippa's marriage to Edward III in 1328 was a strategic alliance between England and the Low Countries. The union proved to be a successful one, producing 13 children and strengthening the ties between the two realms. Philippa was known for her intelligence, beauty, and diplomatic skills, and she played an influential role in the political and cultural life of the English court. This print, created in the late 19th or early 20th century, offers a glimpse into the past and allows us to appreciate the elegance and sophistication of the medieval period. The intricate details and the use of naturalistic elements, such as the falcon and the rich fabrics, transport us back in time and invite us to imagine the world of Philippa of Hainault and her husband, King Edward III.
