EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite Oval Box, believed to be from England around 1660. The box is a remarkable memento of the restoration of Charles II to the monarchy in that very year. Created by an unknown artist, it beautifully depicts King Charles II and his wife Catherine of Braganza. The box's intricate decoration immediately catches the eye. Embroidered with silk floss using satin stitch and French knots, it exudes elegance and craftsmanship. The vibrant colors bring life to this historical artifact, showcasing the artistry prevalent during the 17th century. In this portrait-like depiction on the box lid, we see Charles II gesturing with his hand while Catherine sits beside him. Both figures are dressed in regal attire, reflecting their status as monarchs of Great Britain and Ireland. This photograph captures not only a beautiful piece of art but also provides us with a glimpse into history. It serves as a reminder of the significant events surrounding Charles II's reign and his partnership with Catherine of Braganza. Displayed at the Art Institute Chicago, this extraordinary object connects us to our heritage and invites contemplation about royal power dynamics during that era. Its presence in an esteemed art gallery further emphasizes its cultural value as an important part of British history.
