1457 1509 Ermine Half Length Oval Robes Sceptre
EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking half-length portrait within an oval frame showcases Henry VII of England, the first Tudor monarch of England from 1485 to 1509. Born in 1457 as Henry Tudor, he rose to power after defeating King Richard III in the Battle of Bosworth Field in 1485. In this portrait, Henry is depicted in regal attire, wearing ermine robes that symbolize royalty and power. The luxurious ermine fur, with its distinctive white spots on a black background, adds an air of grandeur and elegance to the image. Henry VII is shown holding the orb and sceptre, traditional symbols of monarchical power. The orb represents the monarch's dominion over the world, while the sceptre signifies the power to rule and govern. The orb is adorned with precious stones, including a large ruby in the center, which further emphasizes the wealth and opulence of the monarchy. This portrait, which dates back to Henry VII's reign (1509), is a testament to the historical significance of this monarch. Henry VII is often remembered for his successful efforts to secure the Tudor dynasty on the English throne and for his role in bringing an end to the Wars of the Roses. His reign marked the beginning of a new era in English history, and this portrait serves as a visual reminder of his important legacy. The intricate details of the portrait, from the ermine robes to the ornate decorations on the orb and sceptre, highlight the artistic skill and craftsmanship of the time. The use of an oval frame adds a sense of depth and dimension to the image, making it a captivating and visually striking representation of Henry VII and the Tudor dynasty.
