Description: | This remarkable painting, depicting the veiled head of Mary Queen of Scots, marks a significant contribution to the visual and literary cult that developed around the figure of Mary in the years following her execution in 1587. The traditional attribution to Zucchero should be treated with some caution. Although the artist worked for the court of Elizabeth I during the 1570s, he had returned to the continent by the time of Mary's death. | Subjects: | history; portrait (Mary Queen of Scots) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Zuccaro, Federico (Italian painter and draftsman, ca. 1541-1609) Æ Attributed to | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8506... | Go to resource |
