EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable portrait of William II, King of England from 1087. Created in 1932 by the talented artist Rosalind Thornycroft, this piece beautifully captures the essence of this medieval monarch. William II, also known as William Rufus, was the son of the renowned William the Conqueror and his reign began in 1087. Tragically, his life was cut short when he met an untimely demise while hunting in the New Forest. The circumstances surrounding his death have sparked speculation that it may not have been an accident due to his unpopularity as a ruler. In this image, we see King William II adorned in regal attire befitting a British monarch. His majestic crown sits atop his head with pride and authority. A falcon perches gracefully on his arm, symbolizing both power and nobility. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke; from the intricate patterns on his royal cloak to the expression on King William's face - conveying strength and determination. This historical masterpiece transports us back to the eleventh century, allowing us to glimpse into a time when monarchy ruled supreme in Britain. It serves as a reminder of our rich heritage and offers insight into one of England's enigmatic rulers.
