The Eve of the Battle of Edgehill

The Eve of the Battle of Edgehill is an 1845 history painting by the British artist Charles Landseer.

Charles I then led his army on the capital London but their attempt was thwarted at the Battle of Turnham Green, with the victory of Edgehill and its aftermath marking a high watermark of the Royalist cause.

King Charles stands in the centre, wearing the blue sash of the Order of the Garter.

Seated, to the King's left, is Prince Rupert of the Rhine who became a noted cavalry commander.

[5] In 1851, Landseer produced a painting of Oliver Cromwell at the Battle of Naseby, now in the Alte Nationalgalerie in Berlin.
