EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the essence of Henry, Prince of Wales, in 1612. The portrait showcases the young prince in full regalia, exuding an air of nobility and strength. Clad in a suit of armor adorned with his coat of arms, he stands tall and proud, ready for battle. The intricate details on his helmet and lance highlight the craftsmanship that went into this artwork. His piercing gaze reveals determination and ambition beyond his years. With sword in hand, he symbolizes power and authority. Henry Frederick Stuart was the eldest son of King James I & VI and Anne of Denmark. Tragically, he passed away at just 18 years old before ascending to the throne. His name pays homage to both his grandfathers: Henry Stuart, Lord Darnley, and Frederick II of Denmark. The inscription "spes patris et patria" (hope for fatherland) further emphasizes Henry's dedication to serving his country. This print is a re-working after the prince's untimely death as a tribute to his memory. As we admire this remarkable piece from our private collection today, we are reminded not only of Henry's potential but also how fragile life can be. It serves as a testament to the fleeting nature of youth and reminds us to cherish every moment we have.
