EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the impressive sculpture of King Charles II, created by the renowned artist Gibbons, Grinling in 1690. Standing at a towering height of 229 cm, this bronze and gilded brass masterpiece is housed in the prestigious Royal Hospital Chelsea in London, UK. King Charles II reigned over England, Scotland, and Ireland during the late 17th century. His powerful presence is beautifully captured in this baroque-style sculpture, exuding an air of imperiousness and regality. The statue was originally bronzed in 1782 before being regilded with gold leaf in 2002 to commemorate Queen Elizabeth II's Golden Jubilee. The majestic figure stands upon a sturdy Portland stone pedestal measuring 5 feet and rests on a square plinth made from the same material that measures 15 square units by two high. This splendid artwork symbolizes British power and royalty throughout history. Every intricate detail of this remarkable piece reflects the opulence associated with monarchs of that era. From its meticulously crafted regalia to its magnificent gilded surface, it serves as a testament to King Charles II's reign as one of England's most influential rulers. This photograph captures not only the grandeur of English history but also highlights the artistic prowess behind such masterpieces. It evokes a sense of admiration for both Gibbons' skillful craftsmanship and King Charles II's enduring legacy as an iconic figurehead during his time.
