Does a link exist between the Droeshout portrait of Shakespeare, the ‘Chandos’ portrait of Shakespeare, and ‘Self-portrait’ by Nathaniel Bacon ? That is the question this video attempts to answer. Through a detailed analysis of ‘Self-portrait’, presented here for the first time, you will discover that, like Leonardo da Vinci’s painting of the Last Supper, Nathaniel Bacon’s painting hides much more than meets the eye. Get ready to dive into political and religious events of the early 17th century and to discover the reason why the Droeshout portrait could be the key to a tragic pageant which was cleverly concealed in ‘Self-portrait’, thereby revealing the identity of the Mastermind behind the mask of Shakespeare.
