EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait depicts James I of England, also known as James VI of Scotland (1566-1625), a significant historical figure during the 17th century. Painted by renowned Flemish artist John de Critz the Elder around the turn of the century, the oil on panel portrays James I in regal attire, dressed in black apparel that was fashionable during his reign. The monarch wears an embroidered cloak, adorned with intricate needlework, and a high ruff collar that was a symbol of wealth and status in those days. James I gazes directly at the viewer with a confident and resolute expression, his hand resting on his hip, exuding an air of authority. The portrait was likely created in Flanders, Belgium, reflecting the artistic influence of European art at the time. The image is now housed in the Nationalmuseum in Sweden, a testament to the enduring legacy of James I and the rich artistic heritage of the 17th century. The portrait showcases the fusion of British and European artistic traditions, as well as the evolution of men's fashion during this period. With its striking composition and intricate details, this portrait continues to captivate viewers and offer insights into the history and culture of the time.
