Richard II (1398)
Attributed to Adrian Beaunevene of Valenciennes, court
artist to Charles V of France
Westminster Abbey
The oldest contemporary portrait of an English king,
this image is painted on a panel that hangs in the nave of Westminster
Abbey. It shows Richard in the robes in which he probably appeared at the
Feast of St. Edward the Confessor, whom he particularly venerated. The
portrait is dated to 1398: on April 29th of the same year, Richard arrived
at Windsor and assigned to Mowbray and Bolingbroke a day for their trial
by combat.
