EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures James II when he was still the Duke of York during the 17th century. The English School artist beautifully depicts this young, adult male in exquisite detail, showcasing his regal presence and noble stature. Clad in armor that symbolizes strength and power, James II exudes an air of authority befitting his royal lineage. The engraving is based on a miniature by Samuel Cooper, a renowned artist of the time. Cooper's attention to detail shines through in this print, as every feature of James II's face is meticulously rendered with precision and skill. As we gaze upon this portrait, we are transported back to a pivotal era in history when England was undergoing significant political changes. James II would later ascend to the throne as King of England and Ireland before being overthrown during the Glorious Revolution. This print serves as a testament to both artistic talent and historical significance. It allows us to appreciate not only the craftsmanship involved but also provides insight into the life and character of one of Britain's most notable monarchs. Displayed proudly in private collections around the world, this engraving offers viewers a glimpse into an intriguing period where royalty reigned supreme.
