1630 1660 1685 Armour Curly Laurels Monarchy Oval Restoration Tomb
EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait showcases Charles II, the charismatic monarch who restored the monarchy in England after the Civil War and Interregnum. Born in 1630, Charles was the eldest surviving son of King Charles I and Henrietta Maria of France. His early years were spent in exile during the English Civil War, but he returned to England in 1660 to reclaim his father's throne. Charles II is depicted in this oval print wearing the regal attire of a Roman emperor, complete with a laurel wreath atop his curly, long hair. The king's profile is strong and confident, reflecting his determination to lead his country through a tumultuous period of history. The armor at his side serves as a reminder of his military background and his readiness to defend his kingdom. Despite his controversial reign, which was marked by religious and political turmoil, Charles II is remembered for his charm, wit, and love of the arts. He is often referred to as the "Merry Monarch" due to his patronage of the theater and his numerous mistresses. This striking image of Charles II, created during his reign, is a testament to the enduring allure of British royalty. The print, which dates back to the 17th century, is a valuable historical artifact that provides a glimpse into the life of a monarch who played a pivotal role in shaping England's history.
