EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the majestic monument of King Henry II and Richard I at Fontevrault in Anjou, created by the talented artist Goldar in 1786. The monument stands proudly within the walls of Fontevraud Abbey, an architectural marvel that has witnessed centuries of history. King Henry II, the first Angevin king of England, ruled with great authority from 1154 until his death. His legacy lives on through his eldest surviving son, Richard I, famously known as the Lionheart. This father-son duo left an indelible mark on medieval Europe. The sculpture depicted in this print showcases a powerful representation of these monarchs' familial bond and their significant roles as rulers. It serves as a poignant memorial to their reigns and symbolizes their everlasting presence within Christian history. The intricate engraving beautifully captures every detail of this historical masterpiece. As we gaze upon it, we are transported back to the 12th century when monarchy reigned supreme and religion played a central role in society. Goldar's skillful craftsmanship brings forth a sense of reverence for these kings who shaped England's destiny. Their mausoleum becomes more than just a burial site; it represents royalty, power, and divine connection. As we admire this stunning print by Goldar from Heritage Images collection - not for commercial use - let us reflect on the enduring impact these kings had on our world today. They were not only fathers but also leaders who left an indomitable legacy behind them.
