EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "Character Sketches in Rome with Portraits of Prince Charles Edward Stuart and his brother Cardinal York" by the renowned artist John Flaxman. The artwork, rendered in pen and ink on paper, measures 19x27 cm and is part of a private collection. The image transports us to the heart of Rome, where we witness the presence of two prominent figures from British history. Prince Charles Edward Stuart, also known as Bonnie Prince Charlie or the Young Pretender, stands tall in his regal attire adorned with armor and sword. His charismatic gaze exudes both authority and vulnerability. Beside him stands his brother Cardinal York, their familial resemblance evident yet distinct. The cardinal's dignified demeanor complements his ecclesiastical robes as he gazes into the distance with an air of wisdom. Flaxman's meticulous attention to detail captures not only their physical features but also hints at their personalities through subtle nuances in expression and posture. Surrounding them are various individuals representing different walks of life - from Swiss guards to peasants - symbolizing the diverse influences that shaped these royal brothers during their time in Italy. This extraordinary artwork offers a glimpse into a significant chapter in British history while showcasing Flaxman's artistic prowess. It serves as a testament to the enduring fascination surrounding these iconic figures who left an indelible mark on European politics and culture during the 18th century.
