Flight of the Queen of James II, from
EDITORS COMMENTS
Illustrated London News", August 3,1872". This print takes us back to the 19th century, capturing a significant moment in British history. The image showcases the dramatic escape of the Queen of James II, Mary Beatrice Eleanora, from the Palace of Whitehall. It was a time when religious tensions ran high as Catholicism clashed with Protestantism. The photograph beautifully portrays the courage and determination of Mary Beatrice Deste as she flees with her son Prince James Francis Edward Stuart, also known as the Old Pretender. They were seeking refuge after King James II's abdication from England's throne due to political turmoil. Richard Principal Leitch skillfully captures this historical event through his lens, emphasizing not only its significance but also its emotional depth. The composition draws our attention to Mary Beatrice Deste clutching her rosary tightly while looking back at what she is leaving behind - her heritage and power. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of artistry by Alexander Johnston (also known as Alexandre Johnston), we are transported into a pivotal chapter in British monarchy. This image reminds us that even amidst chaos and uncertainty, individuals can find strength within their faith and convictions. Displayed proudly at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, this print serves as a powerful reminder of our shared history and cultural heritage. It invites us to reflect on how religion has shaped societies throughout time while honoring those who have made courageous choices for their beliefs.
