1442 1483 Bust Descended Mezzotint
EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite mezzotint print captures the regal presence of King Edward IV of England, the son of Richard, Duke of York, and a direct descendant of Edward III. Born in 1442, Edward IV ascended to the throne in 1461 after the House of Lancaster was defeated in the Battle of Towton, marking the end of the Wars of the Roses. Edward's reign is remembered for its relative peace and prosperity, as well as the restoration of the ancient English monarchy. The intricately detailed mezzotint technique, developed in the late 17th century, is showcased beautifully in this print, which brings out the textures and contours of Edward's noble features. The king's piercing gaze and confident posture convey a sense of strength and determination, reflecting his successful reign and his role as a pivotal figure in English history. Edward IV's lineage can be traced back to Edward III, the father of the House of Plantagenet, making him an important link in the long and complex history of the English monarchy. This print serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of Edward IV and the rich tapestry of English history. The Anonymous mezzotint print of King Edward IV offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time of political upheaval and royal intrigue. It is a reminder of the complexities of history and the enduring power of art to capture the essence of the past and bring it to life for future generations.
