Portrait of King George II - A Symbolic Reflection of England's History
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases the magnificent "Portrait of King George II of England" by Mary Ann Rundall, a renowned artist and educator from Bath. The portrait depicts King George II in all his regal splendor, adorned in a mantle, robe, sash, and hose while holding a sceptre. What makes this artwork truly remarkable are the intricate emblems that surround the king. Each emblem represents significant events in English history during his reign - the War with Spain and France, the defeat of the Pretender, victories in India, and even the tragic death of General Wolfe at Quebec. Handcoloured steel engraving brings out every detail with precision and adds an enchanting touch to this historical masterpiece. It is part of Rundall's seminal work titled "A Symbolical History of England" published in 1839. Rundall's book not only served as an educational tool but also introduced mnemonic emblems to aid memory retention among her students. Through these symbolic illustrations and hieroglyphics, she brought history to life for generations to come. As we gaze upon this portrait print today, it serves as a visual time capsule transporting us back to early times when King George II ruled over England. It reminds us how art can encapsulate history within its brushstrokes or engravings—a testament to both Rundall's artistic prowess and her dedication to education through art.
