EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases James II, the King of Great Britain and Ireland from 1685. Created in 1932 by artist Rosalind Thornycroft, this portrait captures the essence of a significant historical figure. Born as the second surviving son of King Charles I, James ascended to the throne following his brother's death. However, James II's reign was marked by religious conflict due to his Catholic faith. In 1688, he was overthrown during the Glorious Revolution by William of Orange, a Protestant ruler. This momentous event altered the course of British history forever. The image portrays James II with regal poise and an air of authority befitting a monarch. His long hair cascades down his shoulders while he dons an exquisite royal dress that exudes elegance and power. A charming King Charles Spaniel accompanies him in this depiction, symbolizing loyalty and companionship. Rosalind Thornycroft's artistic prowess is evident through her attention to detail and skillful use of color. The composition transports viewers back to the seventeenth century when monarchy reigned supreme in Britain. This remarkable piece is part of "Kings and Queens" by Eleanor and Herbert Farjeon, illustrated by Rosalind Thornycroft—an invaluable collection that brings history alive through artistry. It serves as a testament to both British heritage and artistic excellence for all who appreciate beauty intertwined with historical significance.
