"Roundhead: Unveiling the Faces of the English Civil War" Step back in time to 17th century England, a tumultuous era marked by political strife and religious conflict. The term "Roundhead" has become synonymous with this period, representing those who supported Parliament against King Charles I and his loyalists. Through various artistic depictions, we catch glimpses of key figures and events that shaped this pivotal chapter in history. In William Frederick Yeames' poignant painting "And when did you last see your father?, " we witness the heart-wrenching separation caused by war. A young boy bids farewell to his father, highlighting the personal toll inflicted upon families torn apart by divided loyalties. Propaganda played a significant role during these turbulent times. Woodcuts like "To Him Pudel, Bite Him Peper" aimed to rally support for Parliamentarians while mocking their opponents. These satirical images sought to sway public opinion amidst fierce ideological battles. The Battle of Naseby stands as one of the most decisive conflicts during the English Civil War. Dupuis' artwork captures its intensity and chaos, transporting us onto the battlefield where Roundheads clashed with Royalists in 1645. Oliver Cromwell emerges as a central figure throughout this period. His leadership skills are immortalized in paintings such as Unknown's portrayal from 1830 or c. 1649 oil on canvas depiction which showcases Cromwell's stern determination and unwavering commitment to his cause. Other notable personalities come into focus too; Henry Ireton gazes at us through an oil-on-canvas masterpiece from around 1650 while Hampden's enigmatic presence is captured in an unknown artist's work from 1830. One cannot forget John Okey, whose etching published circa 1812 preserves his image for posterity—a reminder of those who fought bravely alongside Cromwell and other Roundhead leaders. Yet, the English Civil War was not solely about battles and military leaders.
