EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant print captures a heartbreaking moment in English history as King Charles I bids farewell to his beloved family, observed by the infamous Oliver Cromwell. Painted by Julius Schrader in 1649, this sepia-toned image conveys the deep sadness of their parting.
The king stands tall and regal, his face etched with sorrow as he embraces his young son and kisses his wife goodbye. The royal family is surrounded by somber onlookers, including Cromwell whose stern gaze adds an ominous undertone to the scene.
In 1649, England was embroiled in civil war and political turmoil that ultimately led to Charles I's execution. This painting captures a moment of personal tragedy amidst the larger backdrop of historical upheaval.
As we look at this image, we can't help but feel a sense of empathy for the king and his family as they face an uncertain future. The love and bond between them are palpable even in this fleeting moment of farewell.
Julius Schrader's masterful depiction brings to life a pivotal moment in English royalty, reminding us of the human emotions that lie beneath the grandeur and power of kingship. It serves as a powerful reminder of the fragility of life and legacy, even for those who wear crowns.
