EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo print, we are transported back in time to the reign of King Richard II of England. The portrait depicts the young king seated on a majestic throne, adorned with his regal attire - a crown, sceptre, orb, and mantle. Every detail is meticulously handcoloured, bringing vibrancy and life to this historical masterpiece. As we delve deeper into the image's symbolism, we discover emblems that tell a story of turbulent times. The insurrection led by Wat Tyler is represented alongside the invasion by the Duke of Lancaster. These events ultimately led to Richard's deposition and untimely death. This steel engraving is an exquisite reproduction from Mary Ann Rundall's renowned book "A Symbolical History of England". Rundall was not only an accomplished artist but also an educator who published her mnemonic emblems in 1815. Her illustrations served as educational tools for young ladies in Bath during that era. The intricate costume details and symbolic illustrations offer us a glimpse into both history and education at that time. This print serves as a reminder of how art can intertwine with knowledge to create lasting impressions. Bridgeman Images has flawlessly captured this significant piece from Fine Art Finder's collection. As we admire this portrait today, it allows us to appreciate the rich heritage and cultural significance behind one of England's most intriguing monarchs - King Richard II.
