EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the regal presence of King Henry V of England (1387-1422), who reigned from 1413 until his untimely death in 1422. The portrait shows Henry in full regalia, wearing the iconic English crown adorned with precious stones and holding the scepter in his right hand, while his left hand rests on a large, open Bible. The intricate details of his royal robes, the richly decorated background, and the solemn expression on his face all contribute to the sense of grandeur and authority. Henry V is best known for his military victories, particularly the successful campaign against the French at the Battle of Agincourt in 1415. His reign marked a turning point in the Hundred Years War, which had been raging between England and France since 1337. Henry's military successes helped to establish England as a major European power and solidified his reputation as a great military leader. Despite his military prowess, Henry V was also a devout and pious king. He was deeply religious and believed that his victories were a result of God's favor. This is reflected in the image of him holding the Bible and wearing the royal insignia of the Anointed One. Henry's reign was also marked by significant reforms in the areas of law, administration, and finance, which helped to strengthen the English monarchy and lay the foundations for the Tudor dynasty. This print, from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the rich history of medieval England and the remarkable reign of King Henry V. The intricately detailed image captures the essence of a king who ruled with strength, wisdom, and a deep sense of duty to his people and his God.
