EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent sculpture of King Charles II, created by the renowned artist Gibbons, Grinling in 1690. Standing tall at a height of 229 cm, this bronzed and gilded brass masterpiece resides in the Royal Hospital Chelsea in London, UK. King Charles II, who reigned from 1660 until his death in 1685, was a powerful monarch ruling over England, Scotland, and Ireland. The sculpture itself underwent transformations throughout history; it was bronzed in 1782 and later regilded with gold leaf in 2002 to commemorate Queen Elizabeth II's Golden Jubilee. The statue exudes an air of imperiousness and regality as it stands on a Portland stone pedestal atop a plinth made from the same material. Its baroque design adds to its splendor and magnificence. This remarkable piece represents British power during the Stuart era and symbolizes the grandeur associated with monarchy. It serves as a testament to King Charles II's reign and his significant role within English history. Capturing attention with its intricate details and exquisite craftsmanship, this photograph immortalizes not only the artistry of Gibbons but also pays homage to one of Britain's most influential rulers.
