"The Investiture of Edward the Black Prince as Knight of the Garter" is a historical painting by Charles West Cope, an eminent Victorian artist known for his genre and history paintings. Completed in 1868, this artwork captures a significant moment in British chivalric history, depicting the ceremonial event in which Edward of Woodstock, known as the Black Prince, is invested as a Knight of the Garter by his father, King Edward III of England.

The painting is rich in historical detail and symbolism, reflecting Cope's dedication to accuracy and his skill in narrative art. It portrays the young prince, who would become one of the most legendary warriors of his time, receiving the honor of the Garter, which is the highest order of chivalry in England and a symbol of national pride and noble achievement. The scene is set within the opulent surroundings of St George's Chapel at Windsor Castle, the spiritual home of the Order of the Garter, adding to the grandeur and solemnity of the occasion.

Cope's work is characterized by its meticulous attention to the costumes and heraldry of the period, as well as the dignified portrayal of the royal figures. The artist's use of color and light emphasizes the regal atmosphere and the significance of the investiture ceremony. "The Investiture of Edward the Black Prince as Knight of the Garter" is not only a celebration of a pivotal moment in the history of English knighthood but also an example of the Victorian fascination with medieval pageantry and the ideals of chivalry.

This painting is part of Cope's broader body of work that often explored historical and literary themes, contributing to the 19th-century revival of interest in Britain's medieval past. As an artist who was elected as a Royal Academician in 1848, Cope's contributions to the genre of history painting have been recognized as both artistically significant and culturally important in understanding the Victorian era's perspective on its own history.
