EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Henry IV, King of England, as depicted by the talented artist George Vertue. Henry Bolingbroke, who reigned from 1399 to 1413, rose to power through a baronial revolt against Richard II. As the first king of the House of Lancaster, his rule was plagued by political instability. Notably, major revolts led by Owain Glyndwr in Wales and Henry Percy in the north challenged his authority. The image is based on a painting housed at Hampton Court Palace and offers a glimpse into the historical figure's appearance during the 14th and 15th centuries. With his regal crown adorning his head, Henry IV exudes an air of authority befitting a monarch. The engraving beautifully captures both the medieval setting and Henry's dignified presence. As part of the Historica Graphica Collection, this print serves as a valuable piece for those interested in British history. It transports viewers back to an era when kings ruled with absolute power and kingdoms were constantly embroiled in turmoil. George Vertue's skillful portrayal brings out every intricate detail of this significant figure from English history. This monochrome portrait immortalizes not only Henry IV but also reflects upon an entire era characterized by royal lineage struggles and political upheaval within Britain.
