Description: | Charles II wearing armour and the sash of the Order of the Garter. Charles was forced to flee to France in 1648 during the English Civil War. He later moved to the Hague where this painting was probably painted during 1648 or 49, returning to Scotland in 1651. Once Charles I had been exectued, his son represented the last remaining hope of Royalists. Many versions of this composition would have been made during this time for supporters of the royalist cause as well as prints and miniatures and medallions to be worn around the neck. The original portrait by Hanneman has probably gone missing. | Subjects: | portrait (King Charles II) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Hanneman, Adriaen (Dutch painter, ca.1601-1671) Æ Circle of | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8575... | Go to resource |
