Alexia Sinclair's The Regal Twelve

Ain't the Internet grand?  I've been having a lot of luck lately with finding awesome stuff on the internet.  Today I was looking for historical images of Elizabeth I for a post I'm working on and I came across this picture, which led me then to the artist's website where I found the others.  Alexis Sinclair is an Australian Fine-art Photgrapher and Digital Artist and I think she is UBER-FABULOUS!  I wish I could buy the whole series for my house - I could sit & stare at them all day! 

Of course Elizabeth is my favorite - talk about fierce, but I LOVE Eleanor of Aquitaine - absolutely stunning and powerful and exuding maternal sexiness!!

What do you think?  Which historical female would you like to see depicted?


Queen Elizabeth I

 

Marie Antoinette

 

Eleanor of Aquitaine

 

Cleopatra

 

Isabella of Spain


Catherine the Great


Boudica


Elizabeth Bathory

 

Christina of Sweden


Alexandra Romanov


Agrippina

 

Olympias

  1. Those are so neat! They should do that as a photo shoot on America's Next Top Model. Maybe Joan of Arc could be on there?

  16. These are very cool -- though I'm amused at how the queens all look like the very sexy women of Robert Parkes's art (anyone ever seen his stuff? I completely fell in love with it when I saw a gallery exhibit in Santa Fe.). Catherine the Great should be so lucky to look so good! I wouldn't mind owning her gown, though!

  18. WOOOOOOWWWW! They are sooooo cool! And what amazingly perceptive context -- Elizabeth on a chess board, Eleanor the pregnant warrior, Marie Antoinette in the corset. I'm stunned and blown away!

    Thanks!
