Mural Principal Remigius Spalart Whitehall 15th
EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored copperplate engraving depicts King Henry VII of England, who ruled from 1485 to 1509. The image, taken from Robert von Spalart's Historical Picture of the Costumes of the Principal People of Antiquity and of the Middle Ages, published in 1796, captures Henry in regal attire, wearing a richly decorated robe and a crown adorned with precious stones. The background of the print features a grand mural of Whitehall Palace, the royal residence at that time. Henry VII, also known as Henry Tudor, ascended to the throne after defeating King Richard III in the Battle of Bosworth Field. His reign marked the end of the War of the Roses and the beginning of the Tudor dynasty. Henry was known for his political acumen and his efforts to consolidate the English monarchy. He also worked to strengthen the Church in England and improve the economy. The intricate details of the engraving, executed by the Flemish artist Remigius Leemput, highlight the opulence and grandeur of the Tudor court. The use of handcoloring adds depth and vibrancy to the print, making it a striking representation of the historical figure and the era. The image of Henry VII has been a subject of interest for historians, artists, and collectors for centuries, offering a glimpse into the rich history of England during the late medieval period.
