Charles II, the Merry Monarch: A Regal Portrait from the Golden Age of British Monarchy This evocative image captures the essence of Charles II (1630-1685), the Restoration King of England, Scotland, and Ireland. In this 31-year-old portrait, Charles II is depicted in all his regal splendor, adorned with a chain signifying his royal status and wearing an elaborate curly wig and a moustache that were fashionable during his reign. The portrait, created in the late 17th century, is a testament to the opulence and grandeur of the British monarchy during this period. Charles II ascended to the throne in 1660, following a tumultuous period of civil war and Commonwealth rule under Oliver Cromwell. His reign, known as the Restoration, was marked by a resurgence of the arts, sciences, and culture, earning the moniker 'the Merry Monarch.' Charles II is often remembered for his personal charisma and his tolerance of religious and political diversity, which helped to heal the wounds of the civil war. This portrait provides a glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the life and times of a monarch who played a pivotal role in shaping the history of Britain. The intricate details of the image, from the rich fabrics and ornate furnishings to the King's regal attire, serve as a reminder of the grandeur and opulence of the British monarchy during the Restoration period. This image is part of the extensive collection of historical prints available at Mary Evans Picture Library, providing researchers, historians, and enthusiasts with a wealth of visual resources to explore and learn from the rich history of Britain and beyond.
