EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print showcases a unique portrayal of Queen Elizabeth as the mythical figure Diana. Created by an anonymous European artist in the 19th century, this artwork is part of a private collection and offers a fascinating glimpse into the intersection of history, mythology, and religion. In this black and white illustration, Queen Elizabeth I is depicted as Diana, the Roman goddess of hunting and protector of women. The image draws inspiration from a picture found in the Collection of the Marquess of Salisbury at Hatfield House. This visual representation was originally used to accompany Mandell Creighton's book "Queen Elizabeth" published by Boussod, Valadon in 1896. The lithograph not only reflects on Queen Elizabeth's reign during the Tudor period but also delves into her connection with pagan beliefs prevalent during that era. By embodying Diana, she becomes associated with mythological characters like Artemis and embraces their symbolism within her own reign. As we explore this piece further, it reminds us how art can transcend time and capture multifaceted aspects of history. It serves as a window into both religious practices and cultural influences that shaped Queen Elizabeth's rule. This print invites viewers to ponder upon themes such as polytheism, paganism, and their impact on society during one of England's most iconic periods. Brought to you by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection; this lithograph print beautifully encapsulates an intriguing blend of mythology intertwined with historical significance.
