Portrait of Mary Rogers, Lady Harington (1592). Marcus Gheeraerts II (Flemish, 1561-c.1636). Oil paint on wood. Tate.

This is one of the earliest known works by Marcus Gheeraerts II. It is dated 1592 (top left). It is thought to show a member of the Harington family of Kelston, near Bath. She may be Mary Rogers, wife of the author and translator Sir John Harington, Elizabeth I’s godson. In her left hand she holds strings of pearls threaded into four knots. These, and the distinctive black and white pattern on her sleeves and bodice, echo the Harington heraldic arms. Her body is defined by her long, slender, stiffened, pointed bodice, evident in many of Gheeraerts’s portraits of the 1590s.

Portrait of Captain Thomas Lee 1594 by Marcus Gheeraerts II

The Latin inscription in the tree refers to the Roman Mucius Scaevola, who stayed true to Rome even when among its enemies. Lee implies that he too is faithful.

attributed to Marcus Gheeraerts II Portrait of an Unknown Lady c.1595 ——————————- ARTIST Attributed to Marcus Gheeraerts II 1561 or 2–1636 MEDIUM Oil paint on wood DIMENSIONS Support: 927 × 760 × 10 mm frame: 1052 × 882 × 85 mm COLLECTION Tate —————————————- It is rare for sitters in sixteenth-century portraits to be depicted – as this lady is - smiling. On the contrary, they generally maintain a neutral expression representing unyielding dignity. A small number of Marcus Gheeraerts’s subjects, however, are shown with similarly cheerful expressions. The most obvious feature of this portrait is that the lady is depicted in a late stage of pregnancy. It is unusual in Western art for women to be portrayed as unambiguously pregnant, even though records show that many spent much of their adult lives in that state. However, in England, from roughly the 1560s through to about 1630.(Source Tate, London) ————————- Photos by @1zebraphotography #1zebraphotography #artloveenjoylife #tate #london #art (at Tate) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVQ51Cio3SB/?utm_medium=tumblr

Portrait of a Woman in Red (1620). Marcus Gheeraerts II (Flemish, 1561 or 1562-1636). Oil paint on oak. Tate.

This heavily pregnant woman may be a member of the Constable family of Everingham, Yorkshire. Her right hand rests protectively over her bump. Her fashionably white skin is emphasised by the black cord wound round one wrist, and the black ribbon round her other wrist. Each is threaded with a ring, probably worn in memory of a dead relative or friend. The artist, Gheeraerts, was born in Bruges. His father, also an artist, brought him to London in 1568, to escape religious persecution in the Catholic Spanish Netherlands. In England, the younger Gheeraerts became the leading portrait-painter of his generation.
