1633 1685 1688 1701 Armour Cravat Curly Lacy Players Reigned


EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures James II of England, also known as James VII of Scotland, in the prime of his reign. The image, taken around the year 1685 when James was 50 years old, shows the monarch in regal attire, donning an intricately designed suit of armor adorned with lace and gold accents. James's curly hair is neatly styled under a tall, extravagant wig, and a cravat adds a touch of elegance to his ensemble. James II reigned from 1685 to 1688, during a tumultuous period in English history. Born in 1633, he ascended to the throne following the death of his older brother, Charles II. James's reign was marked by religious tensions, as he was a committed Catholic in a predominantly Protestant country. This, along with other factors, led to the Glorious Revolution of 1688, which resulted in James's overthrow and the ascension of his daughter Mary and her husband, William of Orange, to the throne. Despite the short duration of his reign, James II left a significant impact on English history. His attempts to establish religious tolerance and centralize power were met with resistance, ultimately leading to his downfall. This portrait, taken during his reign, offers a glimpse into the majesty and complexity of the man who ruled England during this pivotal time in history. This stunning image is from the Mary Evans Picture Library, a renowned archive of historical and cultural visual material. The Library's extensive collection offers researchers, educators, and enthusiasts a wealth of resources for exploring the rich tapestry of history. This particular portrait is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of England, the monarchy, or the late 17th century.
