EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the Duke of Monmouth in a moment of reflection after the intense battle of Sedgemoor. Ludwig Deutsch, a renowned German artist, beautifully portrays James 1st Duke of Monmouth, who was known as the illegitimate son of Charles II. The duke's resolute gaze and regal demeanor convey both strength and vulnerability. This image serves as a poignant reminder of his valiant efforts fighting for Britain during the Third Anglo-Dutch War from 1672 to 1674. However, history took a tragic turn for the duke when he attempted to depose James II in what became known as the Monmouth Rebellion. His failed rebellion ultimately led to his beheading in 1685. T. Sherratt skillfully engraved this portrait based on R. Smirke's painting, capturing every intricate detail with precision and artistry. The print is featured in "History of England". Volume 1 by Hume & Smollet, published by George Virtue in London. As we delve into this historical masterpiece, we are transported back to seventeenth-century England—a time filled with political turmoil and royal intrigue. This photograph not only showcases an important figure but also provides us with insight into British culture and its rich heritage. Bridgeman Images has once again brought us an extraordinary piece that allows us to appreciate our past while contemplating the complexities that shaped it.
