The Penance of Jane Shore
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating oil on canvas painting by Robert Scott Lauder, now part of The Drambuie Collection in Edinburgh, Scotland. This historical artwork measures 88.9x180.34 cm and depicts a scene from Nicholas Rowe's play. In the foreground, we see Jane Shore, mistress of King Edward IV, kneeling in shame and sorrow before a crowd of onlookers. Dressed in a Victorian-era kirtle and surrounded by individuals wearing historical costumes such as soldiers with helmets and roundhead shields, she holds a taper candle symbolizing her penance. The atmosphere is filled with pathos as the bishop of London stands nearby holding a crucifix while delivering public humiliation upon Jane Shore for her alleged sins. The painting captures the moment when she faces punishment for her relationship with Edward IV. Lauder's attention to detail brings out the emotional turmoil experienced by Jane Shore through his masterful use of light and shadow. The composition draws us into this dramatic scene where we witness both the physical and psychological torment endured by this historical figure. "The Penance of Jane Shore" serves as an intriguing glimpse into history, shedding light on societal norms and attitudes towards women during that period. It invites contemplation about power dynamics, morality, and redemption within society at large. This print from Bridgeman Images allows art enthusiasts to bring home this thought-provoking piece that continues to captivate viewers today without any commercial intentions mentioned or implied.
