EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the grandeur of King James's Room in Hatfield House, Hertfordshire. The room derives its name from a remarkable life-size statue of James I, gifted by the King himself, which proudly stands above the exquisite mantelpiece. Crafted with meticulous detail, this stone sculpture is skillfully painted to resemble bronze, adding an air of regality to the space. The opulent marble chimneypiece adorning the room was masterfully carved by Maximilian Colt, the esteemed sculptor appointed by King James I. Built in 1485 and later reconstructed in 1611 under Robert Cecil's guidance – Chief Minister to King James I – Hatfield House holds historical significance as it served as a residence for Elizabeth I during her formative years.
