EDITORS COMMENTS
Margaret of Anjou, Queen Consort of Henry VI, taken prisoner after the Battle of Tewkesbury in 1471. This oil print by Sir John Gilbert captures a defining moment during the War of the Roses, a tumultuous period in English history from 1455 to 1485. In this vivid depiction, Margaret is shown clad in her armor, symbolizing her fierce determination and resilience amidst political turmoil. The artist skillfully portrays her captivity with subtle colors that convey both strength and vulnerability. Her regal presence remains undiminished despite being captured on this fateful day. The Battle of Tewkesbury was a turning point in the war as it marked the defeat of Margaret's Lancastrian forces by Edward IV's Yorkist army. This event had far-reaching consequences for England's monarchy and politics. Sir John Gilbert masterfully captures not only the historical significance but also the human drama behind this royal event. Through his brushstrokes, he invites us to reflect upon power struggles, loyalty, and sacrifice that defined an era. Displayed at Guildhall Library and Art Gallery since its creation in 1875, this remarkable artwork serves as a reminder of our shared heritage and reminds us how art can bring history to life.
