EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print captures a poignant moment in history as Richard, Duke of York, bids farewell to his mother, Elizabeth Woodville, in the Sanctuary at Westminster. Painted by Giovanni Battista Cipriani, this masterpiece now resides in the Victoria & Albert Museum in London. Richard of Shrewsbury was the younger son of Elizabeth Woodville and King Edward IV of England. The image showcases the emotional departure between mother and son as Richard seeks sanctuary amidst political turmoil. The crowd surrounding them symbolizes both support and curiosity about their fate. This historical snapshot delves into themes of royalty, illegitimacy, and sanctuary. It also alludes to the infamous "Princes in the Tower" mystery that shrouded Richard's life until his untimely disappearance. Cipriani's artistry beautifully captures Elizabeth's sorrowful expression while Richard stands resolute yet vulnerable. The composition highlights their bond as they face an uncertain future apart from each other. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are transported back to a time when power struggles shaped destinies and familial love endured even through adversity. This print serves as a reminder of our shared human experiences - love for family, resilience during challenging times - regardless of royal status or historical context.
