EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the terracotta sculpture of King Charles II, created by John Bushnell in approximately 1678. The artwork, measuring an impressive 78.5 cm, is housed at the prestigious Fitzwilliam Museum in the University of Cambridge, UK. King Charles II (1630-85) was a significant figure in British history as he held the title of King of Scotland from 1649 to 1651 and later reclaimed his position as King of England, Ireland, and Scotland after the Restoration of the monarchy. This exquisite bust captures his regal presence and features characteristic elements such as his elaborate periwig adorned with curls and a neatly trimmed mustache. The attention to detail is remarkable; every aspect from his intricately designed lace cravat to the Order of the Garter chain around his neck has been meticulously crafted. The artist skillfully portrays both strength and elegance through this baroque-style sculpture. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to a time when monarchs ruled with authority and splendor. It serves as a reminder not only of King Charles II's reign but also reflects on an era defined by opulence and grandeur. Bridgeman Images has beautifully captured this piece from Fine Art Finder without mentioning any commercial use or affiliation with their company. The photograph allows us to appreciate this magnificent work of art while preserving its historical significance for generations to come.
