EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the portrait of Rosamond, Queen of the Lombards, created by Frederick Augustus Sandys in 1923. The image depicts a woman with long hair kneeling before a fire, her eyes closed in contemplation. As a monarch and wife of King Alboin, Rosamond played an influential role during the 6th century. Her regal presence is evident through her elegant posture and royal attire. The artist's attention to detail is remarkable as he captures every intricate feature of Rosamond's face, emphasizing her beauty and grace. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth to the composition while highlighting the intensity of emotions on display. The inclusion of a skull symbolizes mortality and serves as a reminder that even queens are not exempt from life's transience. This artistic choice reflects Sandys' unique style influenced by the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood movement. Displayed within this book illustration from British Book Illustration - Yesterday and Today edited by Geoffrey Holme, this print offers viewers an insight into both historical events and artistic expression from early 20th-century Britain. Through this powerful portrayal, we are transported back in time to witness the strength and resilience embodied by Rosamond—a queen who left an indelible mark on Lombard history.
