EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a trompe l'oeil masterpiece by Edwaert Colyer or Collier, depicting an engraving of the renowned King Charles II. Painted with oil on canvas, this artwork measures 59.7x29.9 cm and is held in a private collection. King Charles II, who reigned over England from 1660 to 1685, belongs to the House of Stuart and played a significant role in shaping British history. The artist skillfully captures his likeness, creating an illusion that tricks the viewer into believing they are looking at an actual engraved portrait rather than a painted one. The attention to detail is remarkable; every feather on the quill used for writing, every fold in the newspaper held by King Charles II's hand has been meticulously rendered. This piece transports us back to the 17th century when such engravings were highly valued as symbols of power and authority. Photographed by eRafael Valls Gallery in London, UK, this image allows us to appreciate not only Colyer or Collier's artistic talent but also serves as a reminder of how art can transcend time and bring historical figures back to life. It is truly fascinating how this painting captures both the essence of its subject and the spirit of its era - making it an invaluable addition to any fine art collection.
