EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent sculpture of King Charles II, created by the renowned artist Gibbons, Grinling in 1690. Standing tall at a height of 229 cm, this bronzed and gilded brass masterpiece resides in the Royal Hospital Chelsea in London, UK. King Charles II was a powerful monarch who reigned over England, Scotland, and Ireland during the late 17th century. This regal statue captures his imperious presence and embodies the opulence of the Baroque era with its splendid gilded finish. Originally crafted in brass, it underwent a transformation in 1782 when it was bronzed to enhance its grandeur. In honor of Queen Elizabeth II's Golden Jubilee in 2002, it received another regal makeover with gold leaf regilding. The statue is proudly displayed on a Portland stone pedestal measuring 5 feet and rests upon an impressive Portland stone plinth that spans 15 square units and stands two units high. With its intricate details and exquisite craftsmanship, this artwork symbolizes British power and royalty. It serves as a testament to King Charles II's legacy as one of England's most influential rulers from the Stuart dynasty. This photograph from Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate not only the historical significance but also the artistic brilliance behind this iconic representation of English history.
