EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Richard Fitzhugh, a prominent figure in medieval England. The image captures his commanding presence as the Constable of Chester and Standard-Bearer of England in 1141. Clad in a suit of chain mail armor, Fitzhugh exudes strength and authority. The color lithograph, created by the English School in the 19th century, beautifully brings to life this historical moment from Samuel Rush Meyrick's Ancient Armour collection. The attention to detail is remarkable; every intricate element such as the flag, helmet, lance, spear, shield, and even the rearing horse are depicted with precision. Fitzhugh sits astride his majestic steed with confidence and determination. His equestrian skills are evident as he holds his shield firmly while gripping his weapon ready for battle. This portrayal not only highlights Fitzhugh's military prowess but also reflects the turbulent Norman era that shaped English history. As part of The Stapleton Collection housed in a private collection today, this print serves as a visual testament to our rich heritage. It allows us to connect with an important chapter in our past when knights like Richard Fitzhugh played crucial roles on both battlefield and court. Through Bridgeman Images' preservation efforts and their commitment to sharing art beyond commercial use restrictions, we can appreciate this exquisite piece of history that honors bravery and valor during medieval times.
