EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a line engraving of the young and enigmatic Edward V, King of England from April to June 1483. Created in the early 19th century by an English artist, this piece beautifully captures the essence of Renaissance portraiture. Edward V, depicted as a child with an air of nobility and innocence, represents the illustrious Plantagenet dynasty that ruled England during the 15th century. The intricate details in this engraving highlight his regal attire and dignified posture, emphasizing his royal lineage. The image also alludes to the turbulent times surrounding Edward's short reign. As one gazes at this print, it is impossible not to ponder upon the mysterious circumstances that led to his untimely demise. The shadowy figure of Richard III, Duke of Gloucester - who would later become king himself - looms ominously in the background, hinting at political intrigue and power struggles within medieval courts. Through its masterful execution and historical significance, this Granger Collection artwork transports us back in time to witness a pivotal moment in English history. It serves as a reminder of both Edward V's tragic fate and the enduring allure of Renaissance artistry.
