Charles I Erecting His Standard at Nottingham, 1642, by Charles West Cope depicts the moment King Charles I raised the royal standard at Nottingham on 25 August 1642, formally opening the English Civil War. Cope, an English Victorian painter and Royal Academician known for his historical and genre scenes, rendered the episode with a densely composed, dramatic gathering of nobility, soldiers, and onlookers surrounding the king.
Artist: Charles West Cope (1811–1890). Date: c. 1880 (steel engraving after Cope's painting, published in Illustrations of English and Scottish History).
