EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases the remarkable figure of William, Earl of Craven, a renowned English Royalist soldier from the 17th century. The portrait captures his noble presence and unwavering determination as he gazes confidently into the distance. Born in 1606 to Sir William Craven, Lord Mayor of London, young William quickly gained fame for his military prowess. Serving under Henry Prince of Orange and Gustavus Adolphus King of Sweden, he achieved great feats on the battlefield. Notably, he led an audacious storming attack on the formidable fortress of Crulznack (Bad Kreuznach) in Germany during which he was knighted by Gustavus Adolphus himself while wounded before its walls. The artist behind this masterpiece remains unknown but skillfully captured both the physical strength and inner resilience that defined Earl Craven's character. Mounted atop a majestic horse with Kauzenburg Castle providing a dramatic backdrop, this portrait symbolizes power and authority. Earl Craven's legacy extends beyond his military triumphs; he played a significant role in English history during turbulent times such as the first English Civil War. This image serves as a testament to his unwavering loyalty to king and country. Preserved through time by Nathaniel Smith in London in 1791, this print is not just an artistic marvel but also an invaluable historical artifact that allows us to glimpse into the life and achievements of one extraordinary individual - William, Earl of Craven.
