Painting Description
"Portrait of Charles II 1630-85 Enthroned in Garter Robes" is a historical painting by Italian artist Antonio Verrio. The artwork showcases Charles II, the King of England, Scotland, and Ireland from the years 1630 to 1685, in his coronation attire. Verrio, noted for his Baroque-style paintings, painted the portrait during the late 17th century - a period during which he was the's principal decorator.
In the portrait, Charles II is depicted regally enthroned, dressed in his Garter Robes, emblematic of his role as the Sovereign of the Order of the Garter, the most senior order of knighthood in the British honors system. The portrait is richly colored, imbued with Verrio's characteristic exuberance, drama, and use of vibrant tones.
Highly detailed, the painting's iconography reflects the restoration of the monarchy and Charles II’s role in it. Charles II's reign, known as the Restoration period, marked the return to a more autocratic form of monarchy after a time of Parliamentary rule under Oliver Cromwell's Commonwealth.
The richly woven tapestry details, grand furnishings, and lush drapery surrounding Charles II in Verrio's painting all contribute to creating an image of a powerful, opulent monarchy. The dramatic clouds and beaming light give a divine touch to the king's figure, indicating the divine right of kings - a prevalent belief in much of 17th-century Europe.
While not as widely recognized as Verrio's large-scale ceiling and wall decorations, this portrait is still a notable example of his work, providing art historians with insights into this era of English royal court portraiture. The painting is a fitting testament to Charles II's reign and rule, as well as to Verrio's influence in shaping the visual culture of the Restoration era.
