EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Henry Stuart, Duke of Gloucester, in a portrait created by George Vertue in 1736. As the youngest son of King Charles I of England and Queen Henrietta Maria, Henry's life was tragically cut short at the tender age of 20. The oval frame surrounding his image is adorned with two smoking candles, symbolizing the untimely snuffing out of his existence. The engraving beautifully captures Henry's regal demeanor and elegant hairstyle that was fashionable during the 17th century. His coat of arms proudly displayed on this portrait reflects his noble lineage as a member of the royal family. This piece serves as a poignant reminder not only of Henry's premature death but also represents an era when heraldry played a significant role in defining one's status. Located within this monochrome masterpiece is Oatlands, where Henry spent much of his life before succumbing to illness. The composition skillfully combines elements from both the 17th and 18th centuries, showcasing George Vertue's artistic prowess. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, we are transported back in time to witness the enduring legacy left behind by Prince Henry Stuart – a young man whose potential was extinguished far too soon. Let us remember him for his royal heritage and reflect on how fragile life can be even for those born into privilege.
