EDITORS COMMENTS
This bronze sculpture, titled "James II (1633-1701) c. 1685" is a remarkable depiction of the renowned monarch by the talented artist Gibbons, Grinling (1648-1721). Standing at an impressive height of 50.5 centimeters, this statuette exudes regality and power. Intricately crafted, James II is portrayed wearing Roman armor adorned with a laurel wreath atop his head. The attention to detail in capturing his facial features and expression is truly remarkable; every line and contour seems to tell a story of its own. The figure's attire symbolizes strength and authority while also hinting at James VII of Scotland's heritage. His confident stance reflects his position as King of England during that era. Displayed proudly within the Yale Center for British Art as part of the esteemed Paul Mellon Collection, this artwork serves as a testament to both historical significance and artistic excellence. Its presence evokes curiosity and invites viewers to delve into the rich history surrounding James II's reign. As we admire this exquisite sculpture, we are reminded once again of art's ability to transcend time and capture moments frozen forever in bronze. It stands not only as a tribute to James II but also as an enduring testament to human creativity and skill in sculptural form.
