EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Most Illustrious and High Borne Prince Rupert" in all his regal glory. Created around 1640, this line engraving by Anthony van Dyck captures the essence of Prince Rupert's noble character and military prowess. In this oval bust portrait, Prince Rupert is depicted wearing a suit of armor, symbolizing his bravery and strength on the battlefield. The intricate details of the engraving bring out every nuance of his features, from the determination in his eyes to the fine lines etched into his face. Prince Rupert was not just any royal figure; he was a nephew of King Charles I and played a significant role as a charismatic Royalist cavalry commander during the First Civil War (1642-1646). Known for his drive, determination, and expertise in European military techniques, he achieved numerous victories early on in the conflict. However, despite his successes, Prince Rupert eventually surrendered to Parliamentarian forces after Oxford fell in 1646. As a result, he was banished from England. This portrait serves as a reminder of both Prince Rupert's triumphs and ultimate downfall. Displayed at the National Army Museum in London, this print is an invaluable piece that encapsulates an important era in British history. It allows us to delve into the life of one of its most illustrious figures while appreciating Van Dyck's masterful artistry through this later impression originally published by Robert Peake.
