EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 18th century showcases the transformation of Earl of Richmond into King Henry VII, a pivotal figure in English history. The print, part of a private collection, beautifully captures the essence and significance of this historical moment. The image depicts an original painting by John Mabuse, which was owned by the esteemed Horace Walpole at his residence called Strawberry Hill. This exquisite artwork was later featured in Shakespeare Illustrated, a publication by S & E Harding in 1793. Intriguingly, this engraving highlights Richard III as well – perhaps symbolizing the power struggle between these two influential figures. It serves as a visual reminder of how Henry VII's victory over Richard III marked a turning point in British history. The attention to detail and skillful execution make this print truly remarkable. Every stroke brings to life the regal qualities that defined King Henry VII's reign. From his dignified posture to his commanding presence, it is evident why he became such an iconic ruler. As we admire this piece from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are transported back to an era filled with political intrigue and grandeur. It serves as both a testament to artistic talent and an invaluable window into our past.
