EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable gift dedicated to the esteemed Charles II by Bartholomew Sharp, dating back to approximately 1681. Created with pen, ink, and watercolor by an anonymous English artist from the 17th century, this masterpiece now resides in a private collection. The subject of this artwork is none other than Bartholomew Sharp himself, a notorious English buccaneer who gained notoriety for stealing valuable Spanish maps. Interestingly enough, these stolen maps proved to be of great value to King Charles II. In recognition of their usefulness and perhaps as an act of gratitude, the King granted Sharp a full pardon for his acts of piracy. In this image, we witness an offering presented by Sharp to express his heartfelt appreciation towards the monarch. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring life to this historic moment captured on paper. It serves as both a thank you card and a painting that immortalizes the connection between pirate and king. Preserved through time and now made available through Fine Art Finder's collaboration with Bridgeman Images, this extraordinary piece offers viewers a glimpse into history while showcasing the artistic talent prevalent during the 17th century in England.
