EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent sculpture of King Charles II, created by the renowned artist Gibbons, Grinling in 1690. Standing tall at a height of 229 cm, this bronzed and gilded brass masterpiece resides in the Royal Hospital Chelsea, London. King Charles II was a powerful monarch who reigned over England, Scotland, and Ireland during the late 17th century. This regal statue captures his imperious presence and embodies the essence of baroque artistry. Originally crafted in brass, it underwent a transformation in 1782 when it was bronzed to enhance its splendor. In commemoration of Queen Elizabeth II's Golden Jubilee in 2002, it received another layer of opulence with regilding using gold leaf. The statue is mounted on an elegant Portland stone pedestal measuring 5 feet and rests upon a sturdy plinth made from the same material that measures 15 square units by two high. Its intricate details and majestic aura make it an iconic symbol of British power and royalty. As you gaze upon this photograph print captured by Bridgeman Images, you are transported back to a time when kings ruled with authority and grandeur. The combination of bronze and gilded accents adds to its allure while highlighting its significance as both an English treasure and historical artifact.
