EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Henri I and Henry II, Kings of England" takes us back to the 12th century, immersing us in the regal world of medieval royalty. The print showcases the Great Seals of Henri I (c1068-1135) and his successor Henry II (1133-1189), both influential figures in English history. Seated on a magnificent throne adorned with intricate carvings, these kings exude power and authority. Their elaborate costumes reflect the fashion trends of their time, complete with crowns symbolizing their royal status. The attention to detail is evident in every aspect - from their ornate swords to the delicate orb they hold. Surrounded by lush plants and a majestic bird perched nearby, this scene transports us into an era where nature intertwined seamlessly with human life. It serves as a reminder that even amidst grandeur and power, harmony with nature was valued. The hand coloring adds vibrancy to this historical illustration while preserving its authenticity. This artwork originally appeared in Joseph Strutt's book "Dress and Habits of the People of England" published in 1842. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are reminded not only of England's rich heritage but also how art can transport us through time, allowing us glimpses into distant worlds filled with splendor and intrigue.
