EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic figure of William the Conqueror, the first Norman King of England. Taken from "True Portraits" by Andre Thevet and published in 1584, this engraving captures the essence of a historical era. William the Conqueror, also known as William I, ruled over England during the 11th century and played a significant role in shaping its history. Clad in armor that reflects his power and authority, he stands tall with a spear in hand. This image provides us with a glimpse into his formidable presence on the battlefield. The detailed craftsmanship of this engraving transports us back to Renaissance times when graphic arts flourished. Created by Andre Thevet, an accomplished French artist of that period, it exemplifies his skillful technique and attention to detail. As we admire this half-length portrait, we are reminded not only of William's military prowess but also his dual roles as both King of England and Duke of Normandy. His conquests forever changed the course of English history. This historic image serves as a testament to William's enduring legacy and offers us an opportunity to delve into medieval times through artistry. It is truly remarkable how one single print can encapsulate centuries worth of history within its intricate lines and enigmatic aura.
