EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the dramatic moment of Mary Stuart's daring escape from Loch Leven Castle. Created by the French School in the 19th century, this engraving showcases the resilience and determination of Mary I, Queen of Scots. Mary Stuart's story is one filled with rebellion, power struggles, and ultimately tragedy. After abdicating her throne in favor of her infant son, she found herself imprisoned in Loch Leven Castle. However, her spirit remained unbroken as she plotted her escape. In this image, we see a rebel queen disguised as a lady-in-waiting donning armor to protect herself during her perilous journey to freedom. With the help of Willie Douglas and aided by a rowing boat on the calm waters of Scotland's Loch Leven, Mary defied all odds. The portrait exudes both strength and vulnerability as it immortalizes this pivotal moment in history. It serves as a testament to Mary Stuart's unwavering determination to regain control over her destiny despite facing immense challenges. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' collection at Bibliotheque des Arts Decoratifs in Paris, France; we are transported back to the 16th century - an era marked by political turmoil and royal intrigue. This photograph not only celebrates an extraordinary woman but also reminds us that even amidst adversity, courage can prevail.
