1720 1788 Bonnie Charlie Cuffs Frilled Guizot Sash Stuart
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative portrait captures the youthful charisma of Charles Edward Stuart, also known as Bonnie Prince Charlie, the Young Pretender to the British throne. Born in Rome in 1720, Charles was the son of the exiled Scottish claimant to the throne, James Francis Edward Stuart. Raised in France, he led an unsuccessful uprising against the English monarchy in 1745, known as the Jacobite Rebellion. The image showcases the young prince in full regalia, wearing a frilled shirt, a sash adorned with the thistle and rose emblems of Scotland and England, and brandishing a sword. The frilled cuffs, a fashionable accessory of the time, add an air of elegance and sophistication to the image. The portrait, created in 1788, captures the essence of the romanticized image of the Young Pretender that has endured through history. Charles' rebellion gained widespread support among the Scottish people, who saw him as a symbol of their national pride and desire for independence from English rule. Despite his defeat at the Battle of Culloden in 1746, his legacy lived on, inspiring generations of Scottish nationalists and fueling the flames of Scottish national identity. The image of Bonnie Prince Charlie, with his sword in hand and sash draped around his shoulders, continues to evoke a sense of nostalgia and romantic longing for a time when Scotland was a separate and independent nation. This portrait, by an unknown artist, is a testament to the enduring power of historical figures to capture the imagination and inspire generations to come. It serves as a reminder of the complex and intriguing history of Scotland and the intrigue and drama that surrounds its monarchy.
