EDITORS COMMENTS
Departure from London, captured in this historical photo print, depicts a significant moment in the peregrinations of the Syon Nuns. Compiled in Lisbon during the early 17th century, this vellum artwork showcases the Portuguese School's talent and attention to detail. The image portrays Queen Mary of England's passing and her husband King Philip II of Spain's arrangement for the nuns to leave England for his estates in Flanders. As they bid farewell to their homeland, these brave women embark on a journey that would shape their lives forever. The illustration beautifully captures a ship filled with religious sisters from the Bridgettine Order. The boat symbolizes their departure as they set sail towards an unknown future. Their devotion and commitment shine through as they leave behind their convent and enter into uncharted waters. This piece not only highlights the historical significance of this event but also pays homage to female empowerment during a time when women were often marginalized. It serves as a reminder of these courageous nuns who defied societal norms and embarked on an extraordinary adventure under Spanish monarchs' patronage. Preserved by His Grace The Duke of Norfolk at Arundel Castle, this print allows us to witness history unfolding before our eyes. Its intricate details transport us back to the 16th century, providing us with a glimpse into an era marked by exploration, faith, and resilience.
