Subject: [h-cost] help dating a portrait of Mary Tudor
Hello everyone,
I am embarking on some Tudor costume. I am searching for a citation for
the portrait on this page:
http://www.explore-parliament.net/nssMovies/02/0296/0296_.htm
I've looked around the website and cannot find any contact information for
the website itself nor anywhere on the site that gives credit to the
artists for the portraits therein. I've googled until my eyes bled, but
was unable to find the first portrait anywhere else, which leads me to
think it may be a more modern piece (a learned friend suggested perhaps
Victorian).
I think this is probably Victorian looking at most of the other pictures
listed nearby in this list of images
http://www.explore-parliament.net/nssMovies/index.htm and the fact that
images like this
http://www.explore-parliament.net/nssMovies/02/0279/0279_.htm image of Anne
Boleyn (which the website clearly says "The painting on which this portrait
is based is now known to show another Anne, a Queen of Hungary." other
portraits e.g. Elizabeth of York, Catherine of Aragon and Catherine Howard
also directly mention the original portraits they are based on) is painted
on the same background I believe they are of the same date and therefore the
image you're looking at is a 19th century (or later) copy, not a period
image.
