EDITORS COMMENTS
Catherine of Aragon, first wife of Henry VIII, c1510-1533. Artist: Lucas Horenbout This portrait print captures the elegance and grace of Catherine of Aragon, the remarkable queen who played a significant role in English history. Painted by the talented artist Lucas Horenbout, this masterpiece showcases Catherine's beauty and regal presence. Catherine was born in 1485 to Ferdinand and Isabella of Spain, making her a Spanish princess before becoming Queen consort to Henry VIII in 1509. However, despite their initial happiness together, their marriage faced turmoil due to Catherine's inability to produce a male heir for Henry. The painting depicts Catherine adorned with exquisite jewelry and wearing an elaborate Flemish dress that highlights her status as a monarch. The crucifix around her neck symbolizes her strong Christian faith amidst the religious turbulence during that era. Lucas Horenbout skillfully captures every detail of Catherine's features - from her piercing eyes to her serene expression - showcasing his mastery as an artist. This watercolor portrait is not only visually stunning but also serves as a historical artifact reflecting the fashion trends and cultural influences prevalent in 16th-century England. As we gaze upon this enchanting print, we are reminded of Catherine's resilience and unwavering devotion even after being divorced by Henry VIII in 1533. Her story remains one that intertwines love, power struggles, religion, and ultimately leaves us captivated by this extraordinary woman who left an indelible mark on English history.
