EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph print captures the regal presence of King Charles II (1630-1685), the Monarch who restored the English monarchy after the Civil War and Interregnum. The image, taken from an original portrait painted during his reign, showcases Charles II in his prime, with a confident and determined expression, reflecting his resilience and strength in the face of adversity. Born in 1630, Charles II was the eldest surviving son of King Charles I and Henrietta Maria of France. He was educated in France and the Low Countries, and spent much of his early life in exile, following the outbreak of the English Civil War in 1642. After the execution of his father in 1649, Charles II went into hiding, eventually escaping to France, where he lived for over a decade. In 1660, following the Restoration, Charles II returned to England and was welcomed back with great enthusiasm. He was a popular monarch, known for his charm, wit, and love of the arts. However, his reign was not without controversy, as he faced challenges from various factions, including religious and political groups. This photograph print, with its hauntingly beautiful contrasts and intricate details, serves as a poignant reminder of the complex and fascinating history of King Charles II and the tumultuous period in which he ruled. It is a must-have for any history buff, art lover, or collector of royal memorabilia, and a testament to the enduring allure of the British monarchy.
