EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, created by George Cruikshank in 1840, depicts a significant moment in history - the affiancing of Queen Mary to Philip of Spain. The scene showcases the interior of a chapel within the Tower of London, where this pivotal engagement took place. Simon Renard, the Ambassador of Philip's father Charles V, is seen as a close confidant to Queen Mary during this crucial event. However, despite their hopes for a Catholic heir to the English throne, this marriage ultimately failed in producing such an outcome. Instead, it was Mary's Protestant half-sister Elizabeth I who ascended to power after her death. The intricate details captured by Cruikshank bring forth an atmosphere filled with religious symbolism and royal grandeur. The queen kneels before a priest while wearing an exquisite dress that reflects the fashion of the sixteenth century. Surrounding them are other individuals present at this historic occasion. This print not only portrays historical figures like Queen Mary I and Simon Renard but also serves as a testament to George Cruikshank's artistic prowess. His skillful engraving technique brings life to every line and shadow on paper. As we gaze upon this monochrome masterpiece today, we are transported back in time to witness one of England's most significant moments - when religion clashed with politics and dynastic aspirations shaped destinies.
