EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history, depicting Mary Tudor (1516-58) as she cures the King's Evil. Painted by an English School artist and now part of a private collection, this watercolor on paper artwork showcases the power and influence of royalty in Great Britain. The scene takes place within the solemn walls of a church, emphasizing the connection between religion and healing. A priest stands beside Queen Mary Tudor, who is portrayed as a compassionate healer with her hand gently placed upon the diseased patient's lymphatic glands. This gesture symbolizes her ability to cure scrofula, also known as "the King's Evil" through divine intervention. As one of England's most influential queens, Mary Tudor was believed to possess supernatural powers bestowed upon her by God. Her visits to those suffering from various ailments were seen as acts of mercy and miracles. The presence of religious figures such as monks and clergy further emphasizes the significance attributed to this event. This painting not only serves as a historical record but also highlights the intersection between faith, monarchy, and medicine during that era. It reminds us of how deeply intertwined religion was with everyday life in Britain at that time. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece for all art enthusiasts to appreciate its beauty while reflecting on an intriguing chapter in British history.
