Era Elizabethan Jacobean Movement English Renaissance

Elizabeth I of England (7 September 1533 – 24 March 1603) was Queen of England and Ireland from 17 November 1558 to 24 March 1603, succeeding Mary I of England and preceding James I of England. Elizabeth, the last of the Tudor monarchs, was nicknamed "The Virgin Queen", as she never married, and she instead focused on ruling England as its sole monarch. Elizabeth's 44-year reign became known as a "golden age", under which England's military, overseas exploration, and arts thrived.

James VI of Scotland and I of England (19 June 1566 – 27 March 1625) was the King of Scotland from 24 July 1567 to 27 March 1625, succeeding Mary, Queen of Scots and preceding Charles I of England, and King of England from 24 March 1603 to 27 March 1625, succeeding Elizabeth I of England and preceding Charles I. James was a serious and thoughtful monarch, with his reign of almost 58 years in Scotland being the longest yet in Scottish history; during his reign, the Scots settled the Plantation of Ulster in Northern Ireland, and colonists headed to the Americas to create new settlements, with Jamestown being named for him. Another achievement of his was the creation of the King James Bible, the most widely-used Bible in Christendom.

Portraits of Shakespeare

The Cobbe portrait (1610), The Chandos portrait (early 1600s) and the Droeshout portrait (1622): three of the most prominent of the reputed portraits of William Shakespeare.

No contemporary physical description of William Shakespeare is known to exist.

The Droeshout Portrait of William Shakespeare, from the First Folio

The Chandos portrait This was long thought to be the only portrait of William Shakespeare that had any claim to have been painted from life, until another possible life portrait, the Cobbe portrait, was revealed in 2009. The portrait is known as the 'Chandos portrait' after a previous owner, James Brydges, 1st Duke of Chandos. It was the first portrait to be acquired by the National Portrait Gallery in 1856. The artist may be by a painter called John Taylor who was an important member of the Painter-Stainers' Company.

The Chandos portrait, likely depicting Shakespeare, c. 1611

The Cobbe portrait of Shakespeare is inscribed with the words Principum Amicitias, a quotation from an ode by Horace that was dedicated to a playwright. They refer to ‘the alliances of Princes’ – perhaps to be taken as an allusion to the Earl of Essex’s rising of 1601 in which Southampton was closely involved and which led to Essex’s execution and Southampton’s imprisonment. Shakespeare and his acting colleagues were [marginally] implicated because of their performance of Richard II, a play in which the monarch is murdered, especially commissioned on the eve of the rising.

Thomas Banks' sculpture Shakespeare between the Dramatic Muse and the Genius

Engraving by Benjamin Smith of Thomas Banks's relief sculpture Shakespeare attended by Painting and Poetry originally placed above the entrance to John Boydell's Shakespeare Gallery in 1789, and re-erected in New Place Garden, Stratford in 1870 "Nature is represented with her face unveiled to her favourite Child, who is placed between Joy and Sorrow. On the right of Nature are Love, Hatred & Jealousy; on her left hand, Anger, Envy, & Fear." Romney also painted a simpler version of the scene entitled Shakespeare nursed by Tragedy and Comedy.

Romney's The infant Shakespeare attended by Nature and the Passions, 1791-1792, was a descendant of the Shakespeare craze generated by the career of David Garrick. Folger Digital Image 10546.
