Portrait of King George III of England, the Mad King
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures the enigmatic persona of King George III, known as the "Mad King" in all his regal glory. Dressed in an exquisite ermine mantle and adorned with a crown, he exudes power and authority. The artist, Mary Ann Rundall, skillfully depicts the king with one hand resting on his crown, symbolizing his firm grip on the throne. But there is more to this portrait than meets the eye. Through carefully crafted emblems and symbols, Rundall reveals the turbulent history surrounding King George III's reign. The colonies in America are represented alongside causes of war and ultimately their independence - a poignant reminder of Britain's struggle during the American War of Independence. Handcoloured steel engraving brings life to this historic artwork while adding depth to its symbolic significance. Published as part of "A Symbolical History of England". Rundall's work aimed to educate young ladies through mnemonic emblems and hieroglyphics. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from 1839, we are transported back in time to witness a pivotal moment in English history. It serves as both a testament to artistic skill and an educational tool that allows us to delve into our past while appreciating its cultural significance.
