Description: | There has been some debate as to what the statue looked like. It is now thought that it was similar to a statuette of James II by Larson which is in the National Gallery of Ireland.(1) Additional Information: James II (1633-1701), second son of Charles I, converted to Roman Catholicism during Charles II's reign (1660-1685). Following his own accession in 1685, his attempted arbitrary rule and favour to Catholics led Whig and Tory leaders to invite William of Orange to take the throne in 1688 forcing him to spend his remaining years in exile in France. | Subjects: | Statue | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Sculptor: Larson, William Sculptor: Wyck, John | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=7513... | Go to resource |
