EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait print showcases the regal presence of James VII of Scotland and II of England, a figure whose reign spanned from 1633 to 1701. Engraved by the skilled artist George Vertue, this artwork captures the essence of James' power and influence during his time as king. The image portrays James in full armor, symbolizing his strength and authority as a ruler. With keys in hand, he represents his role as a guardian and protector of Great Britain. The inclusion of an anchor signifies stability amidst turbulent times, while waves gently crashing against rocks evoke both resilience and adaptability. Notably, this portrait highlights James' Roman Catholic faith with the presence of a papal tiara. This religious aspect was significant during an era marked by political tensions surrounding religion. Originally painted for Samuel Pepys in 1688, this print is now part of a private collection known as The Stapleton Collection. Its historical significance lies not only in its artistic beauty but also in its connection to one of England's most transformative periods - the Glorious Revolution. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are transported back to an era when kings ruled with unwavering determination and faced challenges head-on. It serves as a reminder that even amidst change and uncertainty, true leaders leave their mark on history through their actions and beliefs.
