EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable portrait of Henry II of England, taken from the Historia Anglorum, Chronica majora. Created by the talented artist Matthew Paris in the 13th century, this exquisite piece can now be found in the prestigious collection of the British Library. Henry II, also known as Henry Curtmantle or Henry FitzEmpress, was a significant figure in English history. As one of the most powerful monarchs during his reign from 1154 to 1189, he played a crucial role in shaping medieval England. This stunning watercolour on parchment captures his regal presence and commanding gaze with incredible detail. The artwork provides us with a glimpse into an era long gone but not forgotten. It serves as a testament to both Paris' artistic skill and Henry II's enduring legacy. The rich colors and intricate brushstrokes bring life to this historical figure who left an indelible mark on English history. As we admire this portrait today, we are reminded of the importance of preserving our past and cherishing our cultural heritage. This print allows us to connect with history through art and appreciate its significance in shaping our present reality. Let it serve as a reminder that even centuries later, great leaders like Henry II continue to inspire awe and fascination through their portraits captured by talented artists like Matthew Paris.
