EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 17th-century portrait captures Catherine of Braganza, Duchess of Braganza, Princess of Portugal, and Queen of England, as depicted by the renowned English painter Peter Lely. Born in 1638, Catherine was the daughter of John IV of Portugal and Luisa de Guzmán, the Infanta of Spain. In 1662, she married King Charles II of England, marking the beginning of a significant chapter in British history. The portrait showcases Catherine's elegant Baroque attire, which was a testament to her aristocratic status and the fashion of the time. The richly colored dress, adorned with intricate lace and embroidery, is accessorized with a pearl necklace and earrings, adding to her regal appearance. The use of oil on canvas and the meticulous attention to detail in the painting are characteristic of Lely's masterful style. Catherine's heritage as a Portuguese princess and her role as the Queen of England are reflected in the combination of Portuguese and English elements in her attire. The location of the painting is unknown, but it is now part of the collection at the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm, Sweden, where it continues to captivate audiences with its historical significance and artistic merit. The portrait of Catherine of Braganza is a reminder of the complex and fascinating history of the 17th century, a time of change and cultural exchange, and a testament to the enduring allure of the Baroque era.
