EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Portrait of King James II, of Scotland" takes us back to the 15th century. The portrait depicts a regal figure dressed in a doublet and hose, adorned with a jeweled chain on his chest. His wide-brimmed hat adds an air of authority to his presence. Standing proudly beside him is a stag supporting an armorial shield displaying the Scottish arms. The artist, Dominicus Custos, skillfully captures the essence of King James II's reign through this exquisite copperplate engraving. The intricate details bring to life not only the king himself but also the view of islands and ships beyond, symbolizing Scotland's maritime power during that era. Engraved from a scarce print by Custos in possession of antiquarian George Chalmers, this artwork holds historical significance. It was later included in John Smiths' Iconographia Scotica as part of his collection showcasing illustrious persons from Scotland. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are transported back in time to witness the grandeur and majesty associated with monarchy during the late 15th century. This portrait serves as a testament to King James II's influence and legacy within Scottish culture. Overall, this engraving offers us a glimpse into both Scottish history and European artistry from centuries past—a true treasure for any admirer of fine art or history enthusiast alike.
