EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the grandeur of the Coronation Procession of Charles II Through London in 1662. Created by Wenceslaus Hollar, a renowned artist from Bohemia, this etching transports us back to the vibrant atmosphere of 17th century England. In this historic scene, we witness an array of figures representing different aspects of society. The procession is led by heralds announcing the arrival of King Charles II, who sits atop a majestic horse surrounded by his courtiers. Dressed in their finest attire, these aristocrats showcase their status and elegance as they accompany their king through the bustling city streets. The image also highlights various officials fulfilling their roles with utmost precision. Judges and lawmen can be seen alongside musicians playing traditional tunes that fill the air with melodious harmony. Trumpeters announce each step taken during this royal event while knights proudly display their membership in the prestigious Order of the Bath. As we delve into every intricate detail captured by Hollar's masterful hand, it becomes evident that this artwork is not just a depiction but a celebration of tradition and heritage. It offers us a glimpse into an era when pomp and circumstance were paramount for conveying power and authority. Displayed at The Met museum today, this remarkable piece serves as a testament to Hollar's artistic prowess and his ability to immortalize significant historical events through his etchings.
