EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting engraving depicts Joan of Navarre, the captivating and enigmatic Queen Consort of Henry IV of England, as she is believed to have appeared in her later years. Daughter of King Charles II of Navarre, Joan was married to Henry Bolingbroke, later King Henry IV, as his second wife in 1403. The image is based on the effigy of Joan that can be found at Canterbury Cathedral, where she was interred following her death in 1437. Joan's life was marked by intrigue, power, and controversy. She was a woman of great intelligence and charm, and her beauty is said to have captivated Henry IV, who was already a married man with an heir. Their union was met with opposition from the English nobility, who saw Joan as a foreign interloper. Despite this, Joan proved to be a shrewd and influential queen. She was known for her patronage of the arts, her generosity to the poor, and her support of her husband's rule. The engraving captures the regal dignity of Joan, with her elegant headdress and flowing robes. Her expression is serene and thoughtful, reflecting the inner strength and intelligence that made her such a formidable figure in the English court. The intricate details of her clothing and the delicate shading of the engraving add to the sense of beauty and elegance, making this a truly stunning representation of a remarkable woman in English history. Joan of Navarre's legacy continues to intrigue historians and artists alike, and this engraving is a testament to her enduring allure. It offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and complexity of a woman who played a significant role in the history of England.
