EDITORS COMMENTS
The Death of William II of England, 1775 (engraving) captures a pivotal moment in English history. This print depicts the tragic demise of King William II, also known as William Rufus, during a hunting game in the New Forest. The engraving, created by an anonymous English artist from the 18th century, showcases the dramatic event that unfolded on that fateful day in 1100. In this image, we see King William II struck down by an arrow while immersed in his beloved pastime. The detailed copperplate engraving by J. Hall beautifully conveys the intensity and chaos surrounding this historical incident. It is said that the arrow was not meant for him but rather a result of a hunting accident. The composition evokes both shock and sorrow as witnesses gather around their fallen king amidst the forest's serene backdrop. This artwork offers us a glimpse into medieval Britain's political landscape and reminds us of how even royalty could meet untimely ends. This print serves as an important historical document capturing one of England's significant events from centuries ago. It transports viewers back to a time when kings ruled with absolute power and danger lurked even within seemingly innocent activities like hunting.
