The Marriage of the Virgin

Michelino da Besozzo (Michelino de Mulinari)
Catalogue notes: "the comical reactions of the rejected suitors reveal the humorous vein of his art that captivated contemporaries".

Elizabeth I Virginal, 1594, Venice
This almost certainly belonged to Elizabeth I. It has the royal arms & falcon holding a sceptre, private emblem of Anne Boleyn. Elizabeth is reported to have played 'excellently well...when solitary, to shun melancholy'.

Happy #Imbolc 🌟
Beginning on 1 Feb, Imbolc marks the transition toward spring, with roots that may reach back to the Neolithic. The festival is linked to #Brigid , also associated with Brigantia, whom the #Romans connected with Minerva & Victory, & who later passed into Christianity as St Brigid.
