‎Henry VIII reproving Bishop Gardiner who was come to seize Catherine Parr while conversing with him in the garden. A hand coloured engraving from Ashburton's History of England‎

‎London W. & J. Stratford 1793 Première édition. Un bel exemplaire de cette gravure, qui a été habilement colorée à la main. A l'origine pour l'Histoire de l'Angleterre d'Ashburton, elle est maintenant conservée sous passe partout. La plaque est en bon état, propre et légèrement assombrie. Le bord est légèrement rugueux à l'endroit où elle était reliée à l'origine dans le livre. La gravure mesure 23 cm x 39 cm. La monture mesure 33 cm x 45 cm. Catherine Parr était la sixième et dernière épouse du roi Henri VIII, connue pour son intelligence, ses sympathies protestantes et son influence à la cour. L'évêque Stephen Gardiner était un catholique conservateur de premier plan et une figure puissante de la cour d'Henri, souvent en désaccord avec la faction réformiste que Catherine Parr soutenait. Au cours des dernières années du règne d'Henri, les tensions religieuses étaient vives, les factions conservatrices et réformistes se disputant l'influence sur le roi et l'avenir de l'Église anglaise. La scène en question met en scène un épisode où l'évêque Gardiner, désireux d'arrêter Catherine Parr pour ses opinions réformistes (que certains considéraient comme hérétiques), s'approche d'Henri VIII alors qu'il s'entretient avec Catherine dans le jardin. L'objectif de Gardiner est d'arrêter la reine, probablement pour hérésie, dans le cadre d'une campagne plus large contre les sympathisants protestants à la cour. Henri VIII, cependant, réprimande Gardiner, protège Catherine Parr de l'arrestation et fait comprendre qu'il ne tolérerait pas de telles actions contre son épouse.‎

‎First edition. A lovely copy of this engraving, which has been skillfully hand coloured. Originally for Ashburton's History of England, it is now held beneath passe partout. The plate is in good, clean fractionally darkened condition. Slightly rough edge where originally bound into the book. Engraving is 23cm x 39cm. Mount is 33cm x 45cm. Catherine Parr was the sixth and final wife of King Henry VIII, known for her intelligence, Protestant sympathies, and influence at court. Bishop Stephen Gardiner was a leading conservative Catholic and a powerful figure in Henry's court, often at odds with the reformist faction that Catherine Parr supported. During the later years of Henry's reign, religious tensions ran high, with conservative and reformist factions vying for influence over the king and the future of the English church. The scene in question dramatises an episode where Bishop Gardiner, intent on arresting Catherine Parr for her reformist views (which some considered heretical), approaches Henry VIII while he is conversing with Catherine in the garden. Gardiner's aim was to seize the queen, likely on charges of heresy, as part of a broader campaign against Protestant sympathizers at court. Henry VIII, however, rebukes Gardiner, protecting Catherine Parr from arrest and making it clear that he would not tolerate such actions against his wife..‎
