Subjects: shakespeare,women

Peter's work encapsulates a Catherine of Aragon's angry meeting with Cardinal Wolsey in King Henry VIII. It was conceived for John Boydell's Shakespeare Gallery, launched in 1786 as a publishing-cum-exhibition scheme that included a new illustrated edition of the plays, sets of large and small engravings, and a gallery on London's Pall Mall. The latter opened in 1789 with thirty-four paintings and contained about one hundred and seventy works the time Boydell went bankrupt and auctioned the contents in 1805–his print sales plummeted when Napoleon blocaded European ports. This impression belongs to an American reissue of 1852 spearheaded by Shearjashub Spooner, a New York dental surgeon, writer and art scholar who acquired Boydell's heavily worn plates and had them reworked. Printed on thick cream colored paper, the New York edition added small numbers in the lower left margin, this being number 80.

The Lamentation of Christ

Artist: simon marmion
Artist role: artist
Artist nationality: french
Artist dates: 1425 – 1489
Subjects: men,women,christ,virgin mary,lamentation

The lifeless body of Christ rests in his mother's lap, his torso supported by Joseph of Arimathea and his proper left forearm grasped by Nicodemus. Just behind, and somewhat apart from the Virgin, Saint John the Evangelist kneels in prayer. Mary Magdalen and a female companion express their quiet grief at far left. Essentially a Pietà in concept, this image of mourning foregrounds Christ's limp body, reminding the viewer that his sacrifice makes possible mankind's salvation through the celebration of the Eucharist. The drooping poppy at bottom left symbolizes sleep and death. This painting was probably commissioned by Margaret of York, Duchess of Burgundy, during her visit to Valenciennes for the meeting of the Order of the Golden Fleece (early 1473). The knotted C's and M's, as well as the coat of arms on the panel's reverse, indicates her ownership and references her marriage to Charles the Bold, Duke of Burgundy.
