EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Kamehameha V, the esteemed King of Hawaiian Islands from 1863 to 1872. Painted in 1879 by William F. Cogswell, this oil on canvas masterpiece beautifully captures the essence of this late monarch's regal presence. In the portrait, Kamehameha V stands tall and proud, donning a distinguished uniform adorned with a beard and mustache that exude wisdom and authority. The artist skillfully portrays his subject's Polynesian heritage through intricate details such as the traditional sash and tassel that hang gracefully from his waist. The painting offers a glimpse into Hawaii's rich history and monarchy, symbolizing an era when native rulers governed these Pacific islands with grace and reverence. Kamehameha V's royal medal proudly displayed on his chest serves as a reminder of his significant contributions to his people. Cogswell expertly recreates this portrait based on an original photograph, ensuring every brushstroke captures not only the physical likeness but also the spirit of this revered king. This artwork is part of the Carousel Collection, curated to preserve historical moments for future generations to appreciate. As you gaze upon this remarkable piece of fine art, let it transport you back in time to an era where monarchy reigned supreme in Hawaii—a testament to both cultural heritage and artistic excellence.
