EDITORS COMMENTS
This postcard print depicts a portrait of King Richard II of England, discovered by Blondel in 1905. The image is part of the "Historical Events" series, a collection that brings the past to life through vivid and intriguing visuals. Richard II, born in 1367, reigned as King of England from 1377 until his deposition in 1399. He is known for his patronage of the arts, his attempts to centralize royal power, and his controversial reign, which ended in his deposition by Henry Bolingbroke. Blondel, a renowned antiquarian and historian, made this discovery during his extensive research and travels. The exact origin of the portrait is uncertain, but it is believed to have been created around the late 15th or early 16th century. The painting's intricate details and lifelike quality suggest the work of a master artist. The portrait shows King Richard II in regal attire, wearing a fur-trimmed robe and a crown adorned with precious stones. His expression is thoughtful and introspective, reflecting the complex nature of his reign. The background is simple, with a rich, red velvet drapery and a golden orb and scepter, symbols of royal power, resting on a table. This discovery of the Richard II portrait by Blondel not only added to the historical record of the monarch's image but also provided a glimpse into the artistic and cultural achievements of the late medieval period. The postcard print serves as a testament to the enduring fascination with the past and the role of historical research in uncovering its mysteries.
