EDITORS COMMENTS
This 18th-century engraving, titled "Richard II" transports us back to the reign of this enigmatic King of England. Created by George Vertue, a renowned English artist, the print measures 28x18 cm and is housed in the Wolverhampton Art Gallery in West Midlands, UK. The image showcases Richard II (1367-1400), who ruled over England from 1377 to 1399. Adorned in regal armor and an imposing helmet, Richard II exudes power and authority. The symbols of his rule are prominently displayed: a scepter representing his sovereignty, a coat of arms symbolizing his lineage as part of the Plantagenet dynasty, and a majestic crown denoting his royal status. Surrounded by intricate details that reflect British heritage, such as the iconic lion emblem and crest associated with Great Britain's monarchy, this portrait captures Richard II's half-length figure against a backdrop featuring the white hart shield – another significant symbol linked to English royalty. With its meticulous craftsmanship and attention to detail, this engraving beautifully immortalizes one of England's intriguing historical figures. As we gaze upon it today at Wolverhampton Art Gallery, we are reminded not only of Richard II's reign but also of the enduring legacy he left behind as king.
