EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the essence of Katheryn of Berain, a prominent figure from the Elizabethan era. Painted in 1568 by Adriaen van Cronenburgh, this oil on panel artwork measures 97.2x68.6 cm and is currently housed at the National Museum Wales. Katheryn of Berain was known for her austere and pious nature, which is beautifully conveyed in this formal portrait. Her stern expression reflects her strong sense of piety and devotion to her beliefs. The inclusion of a skull as part of her headdress serves as a memento mori, reminding viewers of the transience and fragility of life. Married to Sir Richard Clough, Katheryn played an influential role during her time, earning herself the title "the mother of Wales". This painting showcases her importance as she gazes confidently into the distance. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke, capturing not only Katheryn's physical appearance but also conveying her inner strength and determination. The three-quarter length composition adds depth to the portrait while allowing us to appreciate every intricate detail. As we admire this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' collection without mentioning commercial use or any specific company, we are transported back in time to witness one woman's significant impact on society during an era that shaped England's history forever.
