EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic figures of King Henry II and King Richard I, also known as the Lionheart, both prominent rulers in English history. The image captures a handcoloured lithograph by Villain, based on an illustration by Horace de Viel-Castel from his renowned collection of costumes, weapons, and furniture that chronicles the rich history of France. On the left side stands a regal figure representing King Henry II of England, whose effigy is located at Fontevraud Abbey. He exudes power and authority with his commanding presence. On the right side rests the tomb effigy of King Richard I at Rouen Cathedral. Known for his bravery and military prowess during the medieval era, he earned himself the epithet "the Lionheart". The lithograph beautifully captures their intricate costumes and armor, providing us with a glimpse into ancient fashion trends prevalent during their reigns. This artwork transports us back to a time when illuminated manuscripts were treasured possessions showcasing historical events. Brought to life through this exquisite print from Fine Art Finder's collection by Bridgeman Images, we are reminded of these iconic kings who played significant roles in shaping English history. Their legacies continue to inspire awe and fascination even centuries later.
