EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving depicts William I, King of England, also known as William the Conqueror or William the Bastard. Created by the talented artist Faithorne in the 17th century, this print showcases a remarkable level of detail and skill. William I was a significant figure in English history, reigning from 1066 until his death in 1087. He was born around 1028 and became Duke of Normandy at a young age. In 1066, he famously invaded England and defeated Harold II at the Battle of Hastings, securing his claim to the English throne. The portrait captures William's regal presence with an air of authority befitting a monarch. His stern expression reflects both his determination and strength as a ruler during this pivotal period in medieval Europe. Displayed against an intricately engraved background map of Europe, this artwork offers viewers a glimpse into the historical context surrounding William's reign. It serves as a testament to his impact on not only England but also on broader European politics. This particular print is part of Woodburns Gallery of Rare Portraits published by George Jones in London during the early 19th century. Its inclusion within private collections highlights its significance as an artistic representation that has been cherished throughout generations for its historical value and aesthetic appeal.
