EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Portrait of Henry II of England" takes us back in time to the 19th century. The image showcases a half-length depiction of King Henry II, one of England's most influential monarchs. The portrait is based on the effigy found on his monument at Fontevraud in Anjou, where he was laid to rest. The artist Hulett skillfully engraved this piece as part of a collection called "The Heads of the Kings of England". It beautifully captures the regal essence and power that characterized Henry II's reign. His piercing gaze and confident posture exude authority and strength. As we delve into history through this print, we are reminded of the significance swords held during this era. The presence of these weapons symbolizes both military prowess and royal might. Henry II's crown further emphasizes his status as a king, highlighting his royal lineage as part of the Plantagenet dynasty. Known by various titles such as Henry Curtmantle and Henry FitzEmpress, he left an indelible mark on English history with his political reforms and expansionist policies. This remarkable portrait allows us to glimpse into the life and persona of King Henry II – a ruler who shaped medieval England with unwavering determination.
