Prince Rupert of the Rhine, obit 1682, 1813
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating historical portrait by Robert Dunkarton, created in 1813 from the series "Portraits of characters illustrious in British History from the beginning of the reign of Henry the Eighth to the end of the reign of James the Second." This evocative engraving showcases Prince Rupert, a prominent figure in the English Civil Wars and the Holy Roman Empire, in the final stages of his life. Born in 1619 as Rupert, Prince Palatine, Duke of Cumberland and Earl of Holderness, Rupert was the eldest son of Frederick V, Elector Palatine, and Elizabeth Stuart, Princess Royal of England. He gained the nickname "Rupert of the Rhine" due to his military campaigns along the Rhine River. Rupert's military career began during the First English Civil War when he joined his father's forces against the Parliamentarians. He quickly rose through the ranks, becoming a trusted commander and earning a reputation as a daring and effective soldier. After his father's defeat, Rupert went into exile in the Holy Roman Empire, where he continued to serve in various military capacities. In the portrait, Rupert is depicted in military apparel, wearing a black and white ensemble, typical of the seventeenth century. He is shown as a general, with a determined expression and a sword at his side. The background is left blank, drawing the viewer's focus to the subject. The print serves as a testament to Rupert's significant role in British and European history, as well as a fascinating glimpse into the fashion and military culture of the time. This engraving, created by Robert Dunkarton, is an essential addition to any collection of historical portraits or British and European history. It offers a unique perspective on the life and legacy of Prince Rupert of the Rhine, a man who left an indelible mark on the history of the English Civil Wars and the Holy Roman Empire.
