"Shakespeare" Portraits ? |
Many portraits have been claimed to be of Shakespeare ...... whether they are of Will Shakespeare of Stratford-upon-Avon, or Christopher Marlowe, or neither of the two, is greatly debated ...... |
In my view the Grafton portrait is probably of Kit Marlowe ...... the Sanders portrait is not |
The Grafton Portrait = Proof ? the art grant it ? At top right on rafter At top right ...... fear torn ? In trap, forgot the art "Not that pi art forger ?" "Paint that rot forger ?" Not right, to fear trap ? Got farther into trap ? |
anagrammed |
The Sanders Portrait = "Horrid art a pest sent !" "The art, dross, painter !" "Art ? dost err, thespian ?" "Art ? dost paint ? he errs !" "Art ? sheer rot ! ... and spit !" "Paint'd *star* ? sheer rot ?" "And this reporter's at ......?" "Then do start repairs ?" "P.S. that date's in error !" "Pert Dr.'s on it ... he's a rat !" |

The Sanders Portrait = Direst tarn, rash poet ! A pond ! ...the artist errs ! No death ? P.S. ...artist err Not *Parr*'s death rites? |
(All this refers to Christopher Marlowe, who *should* have been the one painted, as the true author of "Shakespeare") and who drowned in Lake Windermere (a *tarn* or *pond*) |
The Droeshout Portrait = The sitter ? "out" ! oh ! do *Parr* ! Oh ! he's "out"! tried *Parr tot* ? O ! "tried Parr tot ?" he shout "Parr" ? O ! tried "to the south" ? Do *Parr* rite, to the south ? |

The Droeshout portrait is after Shakespeare's death |
The man in the Droeshout Portrait = A true sitter ?? O ! he hid *Northampton* ! True sitter, I ? O ! had he *Northampton* ? |
Kit Marlowe, who should have been titled : Christopher Parr, Marquess of Northampton and Baron of Kendal |
The man in the Droeshout Portrait = Do the rite in *Southampton* rather ?? |
(the City of Southampton, in the south of England) |
*Earl* mows grave ?? = Marlowe's grave |
(The Earl of Southampton) |
"Dire tarn, die, Southampton" = Martin Droeshout painted ...... "I suit, re : dead *Northampton* ?" Dead *Northampton* is true I ? "I died as true *Northampton*" |
Kit Marlowe, who drowned in Lake Windermere ("dire tarn") and who should have been titled : Christopher Parr, Marquess of Northampton and Baron of Kendal |
Martin Droeshout painted the Portrait = "It's to a *Parr* ...I died the true Northampton" |
The Corpus Christi Portrait is believed to be of Christopher Marlowe who attended the college at Cambridge |
The Corpus Christi Portrait = Is it cut to *Christopher Parr* ? Is it *Parr* tot *Christopher*, C.U. ? "I cut Christopher's portrait ?" "Christopher Parr, I ......cost ? I tut !" It's Christopher Parr ......O, cut it ? Christopher Parr sit ? O cut it ? |
The Corpus Christi = It's Christopher, C.U. ? Is *Christopher* cut ? |
Christopher Marlowe, real name *Christopher Parr* |

The Grafton Shakespeare = Has K. Parr gone ? ... see a theft ! K.'s genes ? A *Parr*, he ! ...O a theft ! |
The Grafton Shakespeare = Ah ! speak, father !? greet son ! |
There is a belief that the Droeshout portrait is based on Elizabeth I ......see links { i.e. "H.M." .......} |
in that era, paintings were often made on playing cards, or indeed made *as* playingcards |
