EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving, we are transported back to the Elizabethan era, where the powerful Queen Elizabeth I of England is depicted striking the 2nd Earl of Essex, Robert Devereux. The image captures a dramatic moment in history when tensions between these two influential figures reached their peak. Queen Elizabeth stands tall and regal, adorned in her majestic crown and elaborate costume that symbolize her authority. With a stern expression on her face, she rises from her throne to deliver a snufllet - a symbolic slap - to Devereux. Her gesture conveys both anger and disappointment towards the nobleman who had committed treason against his queen. Devereux, dressed in his courtier attire, appears taken aback by the forceful action of his monarch. His facial expression reflects surprise and perhaps regret for his actions that led him into this confrontation with one of the most formidable rulers in history. This print not only showcases an intense personal interaction but also serves as a reminder of Queen Elizabeth's unwavering strength and determination as she navigated through political challenges during her reign. It offers us a glimpse into the complex dynamics within English nobility at that time while highlighting Queen Elizabeth's ability to assert herself even against those closest to her. Overall, this engraving by Stefano Bianchetti invites us into an intriguing historical moment filled with power struggles and emotions that continue to captivate our imagination centuries later.
