Including the ring with portrait miniatures of Elizabeth I and Anne Boleyn (one of my favorite pieces from the period!).
From The Daily Mail:
A large group of paintings from the prime ministerial retreat Chequers, including a pair of Van Dycks and a locket ring owned by Elizabeth I containing portraits of herself and Anne Boleyn, is to go on public view for the first time.
…
Individual works have been loaned over the years but this is the first group loan and the 10 works will go on display at another country mansion, Compton Verney in Warwickshire, from June.
…
ther loaned works include portraits of Mary I, James I and Lady Mary Grey, a younger sister of Lady Jane Grey, who was confined to Chequers by Elizabeth I.The special display at Compton Verney, Portaits from Chequers: Kings, Queens and Revolutionaries, will run from June 21 to September 7.
The ring containing the picture of Elizabeth and her mother. Wasn’t this already shown at Greenwich a year or two ago? Seems to me it was involved with an exhibit which also involved David Starkey.
Yes, the ring was on display at the 2003 Greenwich exhibit… that was my only chance to see it so far, and I was thrilled that I did get to! As the article says, some individual works have been loaned over the years, but this was the first time a group of portraits from The Chequers has gone on display. It’s still only a fraction of the art there, but it would still be neat to see!
