EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable portrait of Henry VI, the King of England during the tumultuous period of 1421-66 and again in 1470-71. The image is based on an original painting found in Kensington Palace, meticulously engraved by the talented artist George Vertue (1684-1756). Henry VI's pious nature and deep devotion to his faith are beautifully captured in this depiction. With hands clasped together in prayer, he stands before an ornate altar, displaying both humility and regal grace. As one gazes upon this print, it becomes evident that Henry VI was not only a ruler but also a man deeply connected to his spiritual beliefs. The historical significance of this portrait cannot be overstated. It transports us back to a time when England was embroiled in the Wars of the Roses - a bitter conflict between two rival branches of the royal House of Plantagenet. Through all these trials and tribulations, Henry VI remained steadfast as a Lancastrian king. This print from Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate not only the artistic talent behind its creation but also provides insight into an era marked by political turmoil and religious fervor. It serves as a poignant reminder that even amidst chaos, there were individuals who sought solace through prayer and unwavering dedication to their duties as rulers.
