"From Mary Tudor to Buddha: A Journey through the Majestic Throne Chairs" The throne chair of Mary Tudor, housed in Winchester Cathedral, stands as a testament to her reign and influence over England's history. (Artist: Kerr) Plate B takes us back to 1612, showcasing the grandeur of Emperor Maximilian II's election and coronation through a remarkable anonymous artwork. Continuing with Maximilian II's regal spectacle, Plate D captivates our imagination with another anonymous creation from 1612. Transporting us to the late 19th century, we encounter a crowned and bejeweled Buddha seated on an elephant throne—an exquisite masterpiece whose creator remains unknown. In a poignant black-and-white photograph titled "Zanzibar after the Bombardment, " we witness the remnants of what was once a majestic throne—a symbol of power now reduced to ruins. Shifting gears to Venice, we marvel at a Venetian giltwood throne chair adorned with scarlet floral damask—a true embodiment of opulence and elegance. (Materials: giltwood, damask) Delving into historical scenes from the third quarter of the 16th century, an unknown artist captures moments that unfolded around thrones—scenes filled with intrigue and significance. Exeter Cathedral unveils its own magnificent throne in 1847—a creation by George Truefitt that exudes architectural splendor while providing spiritual solace for those who sit upon it. Gentile da Fabriano's Madonna and Child painting from c1420 showcases not only divine love but also an intricately designed throne fit for heavenly royalty. Byzantine school art presents us with an enthroned Madonna and Child piece dating back to c1260-1280—an exquisite example of religious devotion intertwined with artistic mastery.
