EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the regal presence of Richard I, King of England. Painted by Thornthwaite Fitzgerald in 1788, this portrait showcases the powerful ruler who reigned from 1189 to 1199. Known as Richard Coueur de Lion or the Lionheart, he was the third son of Henry II and Eleanor of Aquitaine. Richard's reign was marked by his adventurous spirit and military prowess. He spent a significant portion abroad, leading troops during the Third Crusade and engaging in conflicts with France. However, his journey back from the Holy Land took an unexpected turn when Leopold V of Austria captured him in 1192. Despite facing captivity in Germany for some time, Richard never lost his determination. The artist skillfully portrays Richard I wearing a crown and holding a mace, symbolizing his authority as king and warrior. His piercing gaze reflects both strength and wisdom acquired through years of leadership on battlefields across Europe. Tragically, it was during one such conflict that Richard met his demise at the hands of an infected arrow wound while fighting against France. This image immortalizes him as a legendary figure in English history - a valiant crusader whose bravery resonates even centuries later. Thornthwaite Fitzgerald's masterful engraving brings forth every intricate detail with monochrome precision. The print serves as a testament to King Richard I's enduring legacy as one of England's most iconic medieval monarchs.
