EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 15th century, offering a glimpse into the enigmatic life of Richard III, King of England. Created in 1788 by renowned historian David Hume for his book "The History of England" this engraving showcases the monarch's head and shoulders with an air of regal authority. Richard III, who reigned from 1483 until his untimely demise at Bosworth Field in 1485, is depicted here as a man in his prime. With piercing eyes looking away from the viewer, he exudes both confidence and mystery. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth to the portrait, emphasizing every detail on his face - from his noble features to the subtle lines etched by time. As one delves deeper into this image, it becomes apparent that Richard III was more than just a king; he was a symbol of power during a tumultuous period in English history. His reign marked significant political changes within Britain's monarchy. This print serves as a testament to Richard III's enduring legacy and invites us to explore further into the fascinating world of medieval England. It transports us back to an era where royalty held immense influence over their countrymen and reminds us that even centuries later, these figures continue to captivate our imagination.
