EDITORS COMMENTS
This aquatint print from 1798 showcases the powerful figure of William II, also known as William Rufus, who reigned as King of England from 1087 to 1100. The image portrays a regal and authoritative ruler, adorned with a royal crown that symbolizes his status and dominion over medieval England. William Rufus exudes strength and confidence in this engraving, with his well-groomed beard and distinguished mustache adding to his commanding presence. His attire reflects the fashion of the time, wearing chain mail armor which highlights both his military prowess and noble lineage. The artist's attention to detail transports us back to the 11th century, allowing us to witness an iconic moment in English history. This aquatint captures not only the physical likeness of William II but also conveys the essence of his reign - a period marked by political intrigue, territorial expansion, and consolidation of Norman authority in England. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from The Granger Collection's archives, we are reminded of the enduring legacy left by William Rufus. His rule shaped medieval England while leaving an indelible mark on its cultural heritage. This print serves as a testament to his significance as one of England's most influential kings during this transformative era.
