Joshua Reynolds (After) - The Death of Dido

[resplendentoutfit]

Prince George of Wales, a Protestant royal and heir to the English throne (and later King George IV), found himself enchanted with Maria Anne Fitzherbert, a twice-widowed devout Catholic, six years his senior. George sent to his beloved a tiny treasure, called an "eye jewel". Its origins are rooted in miniature painting and they were a Georgian fashion rage.

Sir Joshua Reynolds (British/English) • Maria Anne Fitzherbert • 1788 • National Portrait Gallery

They were once tokens of romantic love. They were also mourning pieces; the eye of the deceased represented within a tiny, ornate frame. In this case, the pearls around the frame represent tears and the clouds, the passage to heaven.

Unknown maker • Here is an eye jewel fashioned as a ring.
