EDITORS COMMENTS
This statue of Philippa of England (1394-1430) is a masterpiece by Danish sculptor Herman Wilhelm Bissen, created in 1856 and housed in the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek Museum in Copenhagen, Denmark. Philippa, the eldest daughter of King Henry IV of England and Joan of Navarre, was a significant figure in European history during the 15th century. At the age of 16, she was married to Eric of Pomerania, who later became King of Denmark, Norway, and Sweden. The statue portrays Philippa as a regal and elegant queen, wearing a richly decorated crown adorned with pearls and precious stones. Her face, with its gentle features and expressive eyes, exudes a sense of wisdom and grace. The intricate details of her clothing, including her fur-lined robe and mantle, reflect the opulence of the medieval monarchy. Philippa's importance lies not only in her role as a consort but also in her political influence. She played a significant role in the political affairs of Denmark, Norway, and Sweden, and her diplomatic skills helped to strengthen the monarchy and maintain peace in the region. Her legacy as a powerful and influential queen continues to be celebrated in both Danish and English history. The statue is a testament to Bissen's artistic skill and his ability to capture the essence of Philippa's character. The intricately carved details of her clothing, the lifelike quality of her face, and the regal bearing of her posture all contribute to a powerful and moving representation of this remarkable woman from the Middle Ages.
