A full length portrait, facing to the left, in a leather coat and breast plate, red, gold laced breeches thrust into boots. He wears a black full bottomed wig and a sword on a heavy silver and gold embroidered baldric and holds a baton in his left hand. He stands against a backdrop of curtains and in the background is a gauntlet and helmet on a covered table. There is sea and sky beyond. A son of Elizabeth, Queen of Bohemia and a nephew of Kind Charles I, Prince Rupert fought on land for his uncle throughout the Civil War. He became famous as a cavalry leader and in 1644 was made a Commander-in-Chief. After the war was lost, Rupert retired to the Continent where he took command of the Royalist fleet which was practically destroyed by Blake in 1650. After the Restoration he commanded the van at Lowestoft in 1665. He shared command of the fleet with Albermarle at the Four Days Fight and at the St James Day victory, which gave the English command of the seas in 1666. In the Third Dutch War he took command of the Anglo French fleet after the Duke of York's retirement early in 1673. He commanded at the two battles off Schoonvelt and at the battle of Texel in the same year.); © National Maritime Museum, Greenwich, London. © © National Maritime Museum, Greenwich, London / Bridgeman Images

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning oil painting captures the regal presence of Prince Rupert, 1st Duke of Cumberland and Count Palatine of the Rhine (1619-1682), depicted in all his glory by artist Sir Peter Lely. Standing tall in a leather coat and breastplate, with red and gold laced breeches tucked into boots, Prince Rupert exudes power and authority. His black full-bottomed wig adds to his commanding appearance, while a sword hangs from a heavy silver and gold embroidered baldric at his side. A nephew of King Charles I, Prince Rupert rose to fame as a cavalry leader during the Civil War, eventually becoming Commander-in-Chief for his uncle's forces. After the war's end, he commanded the Royalist fleet but suffered defeat at the hands of Admiral Blake in 1650. However, he later redeemed himself by leading English forces to victory at sea during various battles. The background of the painting features curtains, a gauntlet, helmet on a covered table, and an expansive view of sea and sky beyond - symbolizing Prince Rupert's military prowess both on land and at sea. This portrait is not just a depiction of one man; it is a testament to an era marked by conflict and resilience against all odds.
