The New Houses of Parliament - Bas-reliefs in the Prince's Chamber - Mary Queen of Scots... 1857. Creator: Unknown
The New Houses of Parliament - Bas-reliefs in the Prince's Chamber - Mary Queen of Scots leaving the Shores of France, 1857. One of a...series of historic tableaux which enrich the walls of this elegant apartment...In this composition, the lovely Queen is taking a last look at the French coast from the poop of a vessel on which she is reclining; behind her are two female attendants, and behind them is the flapping sail and sturdy mast. A young page also reclines listlessly on a cushion, at the foot of the tapestried dais upon which the Queen is seated. A sentinel stands somewhat lower than the other figures, and is evidently watching the receding shore with as much earnestness as his Royal mistress'. From "Illustrated London News", 1857

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts a scene from the New Houses of Parliament's Prince's Chamber, featuring the bas-relief "Mary Queen of Scots Leaving the Shores of France" from 1857. This intriguing tableau is one of a series of historic scenes that adorn the walls of this elegant apartment. In this composition, the beautiful Queen is shown taking a final, melancholic look at the French coast from the poop of a vessel, reclining on its deck. Two female attendants stand behind her, their expressions mirroring the Queen's sadness. A young page lies listlessly at the foot of the tapestried dais, while a sentinel stands watchfully below, his gaze fixed on the receding shore. This evocative scene transports us back to the 16th century, as Mary Stuart, Queen of Scots, embarks on her journey away from her homeland and the turbulent politics that would ultimately lead to her downfall. The neo-Gothic and Victorian Gothic influences are evident in the intricate bas-relief, with its rich details and evocative use of light and shadow. This print, published in the Illustrated London News in 1857, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time of political intrigue, royalty, and maritime adventure.
