EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable "Equestrian Portrait of Charles II (1630-85) with Gods" engraving by Cornelius van Caukercken. The image captures a moment frozen in time, where the powerful King of England is depicted riding on his majestic horse, surrounded by an entourage of mythical gods. The composition is rich with symbolism as Pallas guides Charles II, while Cupidon acts as his loyal page. In the background, we see Mars assuming the role of captain alongside Mercury and other divine figures. The presence of Pegasus adds an ethereal touch to this grand scene. Charles II's regal stature is emphasized by his crown and cherub-like attendants hovering above him. This portrait not only celebrates the king's authority but also highlights his connection to celestial powers. The monochromatic nature of this photograph enhances its timeless quality, allowing us to appreciate every intricate detail meticulously engraved by Caukercken centuries ago. It serves as a testament to both artistic skill and historical significance. Displayed in a private collection, this artwork continues to captivate viewers with its masterful depiction of power, mythology, and equestrian prowess. As we gaze upon this extraordinary piece through our own lens today, it reminds us that art has the ability to transcend time and transport us into worlds both real and imagined.
