EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning portrait captures King James I of England (and VI of Scotland) and his wife, Anne of Denmark, in a grand display of royal opulence. The image, taken from the Mary Evans Picture Library, showcases the couple in their finest attire, with King James wearing the royal robes of Scotland adorned with the Stuart crest and Anne dressed in a sumptuous gown, complete with a wide, ornate fan and a voluminous, intricately designed headdress. The background is adorned with Scottish heraldry, including the crests of the Stewart and Danish royal families, set against a backdrop of elegant, tiled floors and ornate, gilded frames. King James, born in 1566, ascended to the English throne in 1603, following the death of Queen Elizabeth I. He brought his Danish queen, Anne, with him to England, marking the first time a Danish monarch had ruled over England. The couple's marriage was celebrated for its love and companionship, with Anne playing an active role as consort and advisor. Anne, born in 1574, was the daughter of Frederick II of Denmark and Norway. She was known for her beauty, intelligence, and grace, and her marriage to King James was a strategic alliance between Scotland and Denmark. The couple's union produced seven children, including the future King Charles I. This portrait, likely taken between 1619 and 1625, is a testament to the rich history and grandeur of the English and Scottish monarchies during the early modern period. The intricate details, from the feathers in the king's crest to the delicate folds of Anne's dress, transport us back in time to an era of royalty, power, and opulence.
