EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable woodcut portrait of Edward IV, the influential King of England from 1461 to 1470 and again from 1471 until his death in 1483. The English School has beautifully captured the essence of this historical figure, highlighting his regal presence and commanding demeanor. Edward IV is depicted in exquisite detail, wearing an impressive suit of armor that symbolizes his power and authority. His gaze is both confident and piercing, reflecting a man who was known for his strategic military prowess. A beret adorns his head, adding a touch of elegance to the overall composition. The inclusion of a sword by Edward's side further emphasizes his role as a warrior king. In one hand he holds an orb, representing his dominion over England and its territories during the tumultuous fifteenth century. This ceremonial accessory adds an air of majesty to the image. Set against a neutral background, this half-length portrait allows viewers to focus solely on Edward IV himself. The fine craftsmanship evident in this woodcut highlights the skillful technique employed by the artist. Preserved within a private collection, this rare depiction offers us insight into one of England's most significant monarchs. It serves as both a visual testament to Edward IV's reign and as an artistic masterpiece capturing the spirit of fifteenth-century royalty.
