EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the tense moment during the Essex Rebellion of 1598, when the Earl of Essex, Robert Devereux (1591-1601), was summoned to appear before Queen Elizabeth I (1533-1603) to answer for his role in a failed military campaign in Ireland. The confrontation between the two powerful figures took place in the presence chamber of Whitehall Palace. Essex, a favorite of the queen and once a trusted advisor, had grown increasingly ambitious and discontented with his position. Frustrated by the queen's refusal to grant him further military commands, he led a rebellion against her rule, rallying support from various nobles and commoners. Upon being summoned to explain himself, Essex arrived at Whitehall Palace with a large retinue, hoping to force the queen to grant him a pardon. However, Elizabeth was not swayed and instead demanded his arrest. In this print, Essex is shown laying his hand on the hilt of his sword, a clear sign of his intent to resist. The queen, dressed in her regal robes and wearing her iconic ruff collar, stands before him, her expression one of stern determination. The queen's trusted advisors, including Lord Cobham and Lord Burghley, attempt to restrain Essex, but he pushes them aside. The queen, with a swift and decisive move, strikes Essex across the face with her fan, leaving a visible mark. The image captures the raw emotion and intensity of the moment, as the relationship between the queen and her favorite turns from loyalty to open conflict. This historical print offers a fascinating glimpse into the complex political landscape of Elizabethan England, and the power struggles that shaped the reign of one of Britain's most iconic monarchs.
