Painting Description
"Prince Charles Edward Stuart, Bonnie Prince Charlie, 1720-88" is an engraving by Robert Strange, an 18th-century Scottish engraver and Jacobite sympathizer. The work is a portrait of Charles Edward Stuart, commonly known as Bonnie Prince Charlie, who is best known for his role in the Jacobite uprising of 1745, where he led an ultimately unsuccessful attempt to restore his family, the House of Stuart, to the throne of Great Britain.
The engraving is a significant historical artifact, capturing the romanticized image of the prince who became a symbol of the Jacobite cause. Robert Strange created the work during a period when producing and distributing such images was a political act, as it could be seen as supporting the Jacobite claim against the ruling Hanoverian dynasty. The portrait is noted for its detailed representation of the prince, often idealizing his features to reflect the Jacobite vision of a rightful and heroic monarch.
As an engraving, the piece would have been reproduced and circulated among supporters of the Stuart claim, serving both as a form of political propaganda and as a means of fostering a collective identity among Jacobites. The artwork reflects the broader cultural and political context of the time, illustrating the role of visual arts in shaping public perception and sentiment regarding political figures.
The portrait by Robert Strange is an important example of the intersection between art and politics in the 18th century, offering insight into the ways in which images were used to influence opinion and rally support for political causes. It remains a subject of interest for historians and art enthusiasts alike, providing a window into the period's aesthetic sensibilities and the enduring legacy of the Jacobite movement.
