Description: | The picture shows a dramatic interpretation of the scene when King Charles I rode to Hull to ask the city for support. The artist depicts the king astride a white horse, reminiscent of the long tradition of equestrian portraits, with his arm raised, as he addresses the gathered crowd. The original composition formed part of a set of ten paintings, all engraved, following the history of King Charles I. Parrocel was responsible for producing three of this series. | Subjects: | history (King Charles I) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Parrocel, Charles (French painter and printmaker, 1688-1752) Æ After | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8718... | Go to resource |
