EDITORS COMMENTS
In this aquatint print, we witness a pivotal moment in history as Queen Elizabeth I receives the heart-wrenching news of her sister's passing. The vibrant colors bring to life the emotions that must have coursed through the queen's veins upon learning of Queen Mary's death. Queen Elizabeth stands tall and regal, her face etched with a mix of sorrow and determination. She holds a letter in her delicate hands, its contents delivering the weighty news that will forever alter her destiny. Surrounded by courtiers who anxiously await her reaction, she absorbs the gravity of this momentous occasion. The scene is filled with tension and anticipation as England transitions from one monarch to another. As Queen Mary takes her final breaths, Elizabeth prepares herself for what lies ahead – ascending to the throne amidst political turmoil and religious strife. Richard Westall masterfully captures this historical event with exceptional detail and skillful execution. Every brushstroke conveys both the personal grief felt by Elizabeth at losing her sister and the immense responsibility she now carries on her shoulders. This aquatint serves as a poignant reminder of how even those born into privilege are not immune to loss or hardship. It immortalizes an extraordinary woman who would go on to become one of England's most iconic rulers – Queen Elizabeth I – forever changed by receiving such fateful news about her beloved sister, Queen Mary I.
