EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait print showcases King Stephen of England in all his regal glory. Adorned with a crown and mantle, he exudes power and authority. However, it is the addition of a hawk hood that adds an intriguing touch to this depiction. The falconry element symbolizes not only the king's love for hunting but also his competitive nature. The emblems surrounding him further emphasize this aspect, representing his rivalry with Matilda. From Matilda's landing in England to the battle of Lincoln and her subsequent return to Normandy, these symbolic illustrations tell a tale of political struggle and ambition. Handcoloured steel engraving brings life to this historical artwork, originally created by Mary Ann Rundall as part of her book "A Symbolical History of England". Rundall was not only an artist but also a teacher who published mnemonic emblems aimed at educating young ladies in Bath during the early 19th century. This portrait serves as more than just a representation of King Stephen; it offers insight into the costume and history of medieval England. Through its intricate details and hieroglyphic-like symbols, it invites viewers on an educational journey through time. With its rich symbolism and artistic finesse, this print from Fine Art Finder is sure to captivate history enthusiasts seeking both beauty and knowledge within their art collection.
