EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured etching, created by Thomas Fisher in 1808, showcases an intriguing assemblage of historical and mythical figures adorned in the grandiose headdresses of the era of King Henry VII. The figures depicted include Queen of Sheba, King Solomon, Empress Helena, and Emperor Constantine. Queen of Sheba, an ancient queen of Ethiopia, is shown wearing a magnificent golden headdress, adorned with precious gems and intricate designs. Her regal presence is a testament to her legendary wealth and power. King Solomon, the legendary king of Israel, is depicted wearing a headdress reminiscent of the ancient Middle Eastern crowns, adorned with gold, jewels, and intricate designs. His wisdom and wealth are symbolized by the ornate headpiece. Empress Helena, the mother of Constantine the Great, is shown wearing a regal diadem, adorned with pearls, precious stones, and intricate goldwork. Her headdress reflects her status as a powerful and revered empress. Emperor Constantine, the first Christian Roman emperor, is depicted wearing a triumphal laurel wreath, symbolizing his military victories and his status as a ruler of the Roman Empire. His headdress is a testament to the grandeur and power of the Roman Empire during his reign. This intricately detailed etching, drawn and etched by Thomas Fisher, was originally created for the Paintings on the Walls of the Chapel of the Trinity in Stratford upon Avon. The handcoloured etching adds an extra layer of depth and richness to the already impressive depictions of these historical and mythical figures.
