EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the dramatic moment of Richard III's demise during the Battle of Bosworth Field. The 19th-century English School artist skillfully depicts the intensity and chaos of this historical event, transporting us back to a pivotal moment in British history. Richard III, depicted in his regal armor, is shown engaged in a fierce confrontation with his adversaries on the battlefield. His face reveals both determination and desperation as he fights for his life and crown. The composition expertly conveys the brutality and violence of war, with bodies strewn across the ground and weapons clashing amidst billowing smoke. The print was created as an illustration for "The History of England" by Hume and Smollett, accompanied by J. C. Campbell's continuation. It serves as a visual representation of one of England's most significant battles, where Richard III met his tragic end. This historic artwork offers viewers a glimpse into a tumultuous period when power struggles shaped nations. It invites contemplation on themes such as ambition, loyalty, and fate that resonate throughout human history. Now preserved in private collection but made accessible through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform, this engraving allows us to reflect upon Richard III's legacy while appreciating the artistic talent behind its creation.
