An engraving from 1730 portrays King Charles I with an air of authority befitting a monarch. This detailed depiction highlights the intricacies of his facial features while capturing the intensity behind those piercing eyes that witnessed both triumphs and tragedies. Before ascending to the throne, Prince Charles was captured in two remarkable oil paintings when he was still known as Prince of Wales. These portraits showcase his youthful charm and hint at the destiny awaiting him – one filled with power struggles and political turmoil. Born on November 19th, 1600, Charles I belonged to the illustrious House of Stuart. As king, he faced numerous challenges including conflicts with Parliament over matters such as taxation and religious freedom. Despite these obstacles, he remained steadfast in upholding what he believed were divine rights bestowed upon him by birthright. Tragically marked by controversy until its very end, Charles I met an untimely demise when executed for treason in 1649 after being found guilty by Parliamentarians during the English Civil War.
