EDITORS COMMENTS
This magnificent print captures the regal presence of King Charles II, one of England's most powerful monarchs. Created by the skilled hands of Grinling Gibbons in 1690, this bronzed and gilded brass sculpture stands tall at a height of 229 cm within the Royal Hospital Chelsea in London. King Charles II reigned over England, Scotland, and Ireland during a significant period in history. The sculpture itself underwent transformations throughout the years; it was bronzed in 1782 and later adorned with gold leaf in 2002 to commemorate Queen Elizabeth II's Golden Jubilee. The statue is placed upon a sturdy Portland stone pedestal measuring 5 feet and rests on an elegant plinth made from the same material, which measures 15 square units by 2 high. Its baroque design exudes splendor and grandeur befitting such a revered ruler. Every detail of this artwork reflects the power and majesty associated with British royalty. From its imperious stance to its meticulously crafted regalia, every element speaks volumes about King Charles II's reign. As you gaze upon this photo print, you are transported back to an era when kings ruled with authority and grace. It serves as a reminder of England's rich history while showcasing the talent of both artist Grinling Gibbons and photographer Bridgeman Images.
