EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable portrait of Richard II, the illustrious King of England from 1377 to 1399. The image is a faithful reproduction of an original painting housed in the iconic Westminster Abbey, exuding an air of regality and historical significance. Richard II's reign was marked by both grandeur and turmoil, as depicted by his majestic presence in this portrait. Clad in royal attire adorned with ermine fur, he holds a sceptre symbolizing his authority over the realm. The orb resting on his hand represents his dominion over vast territories. The artist George Vertue masterfully engraved this timeless piece, capturing every intricate detail with precision and finesse. This particular print belongs to a private collection known as The Stapleton Collection, adding exclusivity and rarity to its allure. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this image serves as a window into English history during the Plantagenet era. It evokes memories of significant events such as the Peasants' Revolt that shook the nation during Richard II's rule. As we gaze upon this extraordinary photograph print from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are transported back in time to witness the majesty and power that once defined British royalty. It stands as a testament to Richard II's legacy while reminding us of our rich cultural heritage rooted in England's past accomplishments.
