Портрет из 16. века поново у фокусу: Ко је заиста насликан?
Тјудорски историчар Овен Емерсон, који је и ко-кустос нове изложбе портрета Ане Болен, тврди да портрет насликан више од пола века након њеног погубљења, а који се од 1882. године налази у Националној галерији портрета, у ствар и приказује горњи део тела и лице њене ћерке, краљице Елизабете Прве.
TL;DR
- Tudor historian Owen Emerson claims a portrait in the National Portrait Gallery, long believed to be Anne Boleyn, actually depicts Queen Elizabeth I.
- Emerson's conclusion is based on comparing the portrait to other royal paintings, noting similarities in facial features, skin tone, and hair color with Elizabeth I.
- He suggests the portrait was made by an artist from the late 16th century, during Elizabeth I's reign, who created a series of monarch portraits.
- Other experts, including Philip Mould's research director Lawrence Hendra and antiquities dealer Paul Fitzsimmons, support the theory, pointing to similarities with other portraits from the late 16th and early 17th centuries.
- Most portraits of Anne Boleyn were created decades or centuries after her death, often depicting her with dark hair, whereas historical accounts suggest she had reddish hair.
- The National Portrait Gallery has expressed interest in the new research concerning its collection.
