Richard III

Description

I did this portrait of Richard III for a friend of mine who is an avid Ricardian. I knew very little about anything medieval when I started it, so it definitely was a learning experience for me. I wanted to go for an almost Albrecht Durer like effect with the drawing; I also took pains to give the guy a hat that wasn't the one you see in the usual portraits.

Sigh, if only more Italian and Flemish artists at that early point in the Renaissance traveled to England and did more works....it would take another 30-50 years for the Brits to catch up, lol!


Chaperons were too 'fetch' to be legal! 😄 Richie III wears it well!
