EDITORS COMMENTS
King Henry II (1133-1189) is depicted in this handcolored engraving from the "Civil Costume of England from the Conquest to the Present Period," created by Charles and Leopold Martin in 1842. The image is based on the monumental effigy of the king located at Fontevraud Abbey in France. Henry II was the son of Geoffrey Plantagenet, Duke of Normandy, and Empress Matilda, and he ascended to the English throne following the death of his father in 1154. In the effigy, Henry II is shown wearing a crown adorned with precious stones, a velvet mantle draped over his shoulders, and a scarlet tunic. The king's shoes are made of fine leather, and he wears gold spurs on his feet. His gloves are also made of gold, and his hands are clenched in a sign of power and authority. The intricate details of the king's costume and the realistic rendering of his face and body were meticulously drawn from various sources, including tapestries, monumental effigies, illuminated manuscripts, and portraits. Charles and Leopold Martin were the sons of the renowned romantic artist and mezzotint engraver John Martin. Their work on the "Civil Costume of England" series was highly regarded for its historical accuracy and artistic merit. The illustrations provided a detailed record of English fashion and history, making them an invaluable resource for scholars and enthusiasts of the period. This image of King Henry II, with its intricate details and vibrant colors, offers a glimpse into the opulence and grandeur of the medieval court.
