EDITORS COMMENTS

Created by the talented artist Gibbons, Grinling in 1690, this bronzed and gilded brass sculpture stands tall at an impressive height of 229 cm. Originally crafted during Charles II's reign, this magnificent artwork underwent a transformation in later years.

The statue is displayed prominently at the Royal Hospital Chelsea in London, UK. It rests on a sturdy Portland stone pedestal measuring five feet five inches high and is further elevated by a fifteen square foot plinth made from the same material. Every detail of this baroque masterpiece exudes splendor and royalty. The intricate craftsmanship showcases Charles II's imperious stature as he gazes confidently into the distance. The combination of bronze and gilding adds an extra layer of magnificence to his regalia.
