EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in history as King John of England rejoices upon hearing the news of Geoffrey Fitz-Peter's death. The illustration, taken from Hutchinson's Story of the British Nation, c. 1920, showcases Richard Caton Woodville II's remarkable litho work. King John, known for his tumultuous reign from 1166 to 1216, is depicted with an expression of sheer joy on his face. Fitz-Peter, who served as Chief Justiciar of England during that time period, had been a significant restraint on the king's power and authority. Thus, this event marked a turning point for King John and his rule. The image portrays the royal court in all its grandeur and splendor. Courtiers surround King John while he revels in this newfound freedom from Fitz-Peter's influence. The engraving beautifully captures the essence of medieval England - its rulers adorned with crowns and regal attire. Woodville skillfully brings this historical scene to life through intricate details and meticulous craftsmanship. This print is part of the Stapleton Collection and can be found in private collections today. As we gaze upon this artwork from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are transported back in time to witness a defining moment that shaped English history forever – where one ruler celebrates their liberation while another meets their demise.
