Charles I (1600-1649), the enigmatic King of England, Scotland, and Ireland, is depicted in various portraits by renowned artists of the time. From his youthful days as Prince of Wales by Paul van Somer, to his regal presence on horseback by Sir Anthony van Dyck, these paintings offer a glimpse into the life of this complex monarch. His queen, Henrietta Maria of France (1609-1669), is also captured in portraits by Dyck, showcasing their strong bond. However, the tranquility of their early marriage was shattered by the English Civil War, as depicted in Landseer's 'The Eve of the Battle of Edge Hill' in 1642. Despite the tumultuous end to his reign, Charles I remains a significant figure in British history.
