James Francis Edward Stuart, also known as the Prince James Francis Edward Stuart or The Old Pretender, was a significant figure in European history. Born to Queen Mary, consort of King James II, his birth brought hope and controversy. In December 1688, amidst political turmoil, Queen Mary fled England with her son and court in tow. The Chevalier de St. George's arrival in Scotland marked a turning point for James Francis Edward Stuart's life. This momentous event is captured vividly in an engraving that depicts the prince landing on Scottish soil. Throughout his life, portraits were created to immortalize this enigmatic figure. One such portrait from 1902 showcases him through a collotype print while another portrays him as a young child on vellum using watercolors. His existence stirred up tensions across Europe; even William of Orange received news of the birth of the Prince of Wales with great concern. Engravings depicting this pivotal moment serve as reminders of the impact he had on politics during that time. Despite being labeled "The Old Pretender, " James Francis Edward Stuart continued to fight for what he believed was rightfully his. A captivating oil painting captures his essence and determination as he gazes into the distance. In Le Feste des Trois Rois and L'Europe Allarmee by Romeyn de Hooghe, we witness how far-reaching his influence extended beyond Britain's borders. These intricate illustrations depict events surrounding him and highlight their significance within European affairs. Even after years had passed since his mother's flight from England, newspapers like Illustrated London News still reported on it in 1872 - emphasizing its historical relevance long after it occurred. Prince Charles Edwards Parliament serves as evidence that James Francis Edward Stuart left behind a legacy that inspired future generations to continue fighting for their beliefs. Created by an unknown artist around 1890, this artwork encapsulates both admiration and curiosity towards this controversial figure who played a significant role in shaping European history.
