The King's Escape from Hampton Court in November 1647
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating oil painting that depicts a pivotal moment in English history. Painted by Pierre Angelis or Angillis, this artwork measures 63x75.5 cm and is currently held in a private collection. The scene showcases Charles I, the reigning monarch at the time, inside his chamber at Hampton Court. A loyal dog rests at his feet while two servants and two gentlemen stand beside him, serving as his escorts for escape. This daring escape took place during the English Civil War (1641-1651), when Charles I was placed under comfortable house arrest at Hampton Court. Although he managed to flee to the Isle of Wight promptly after escaping, Charles I's freedom was short-lived as he soon returned to custody. The painting serves as a reminder of the turbulent times during which it was created. On January 27th, 1649, Charles I was found guilty of treasonous acts against parliament and sentenced to death. His reign lasted from 1625 until his execution in 1649. This historical masterpiece captures not only the grandeur of Hampton Court but also provides insight into the political turmoil that shaped England during this period. With its meticulous attention to detail and masterful use of oil on canvas technique, "The King's Escape from Hampton Court" stands as an important piece within European art history.
