EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures a pivotal moment in English history - the Battle of Bosworth field and the end of the War of the Two Roses. Lord Stanley, depicted in all his regal glory, is seen bringing the crown of Richard III to Richmond in 1485. This symbolic act marks a turning point as it signifies the defeat of Richard III and the rise of Henry Tudor, who would become King Henry VII. The image is an engraving from "Cassells illustrated history of England", vol. II, by William Howitt, published in 1857. It showcases the meticulous attention to detail that was characteristic of 19th-century British artistry. In this scene, Lord Stanley stands tall amidst a backdrop depicting a battlefield strewn with fallen soldiers and remnants of war. His expression reflects both triumph and solemnity as he presents Richard III's crown to Richmond, symbolizing not only victory but also unity for a fractured nation. This artwork serves as a visual reminder of one of England's most tumultuous periods - The War of the Two Roses - which ravaged the country between 1455 and 1485. It also highlights how art can be used to preserve historical events for future generations. Stefano Bianchetti's masterful reproduction brings this significant moment back to life with its intricate details and evocative composition. It serves as an enduring testament to Britain's rich past while reminding us that even through conflict and strife, there is always hope for reconciliation and renewal.
