The Battle of Bosworth - 30"x 20" Canvas Print(Reference #G162-XLC)

With the two armies locked together in fierce hand to hand combat, Henry Tudor, surrounded by only a small body of men, becomes isolated from his main force. Seeing a chance to end the battle with one decisive stroke, King Richard III leads his household knights and retainers in a thunderous charge, seeking out his adversary.

Graham Turner's dramatic painting transports the viewer into the thick of the action, You can feel the shattering impact of the King's lance on the unfortunate Sir William Brandon, as Tudor's Red Dragon Standard falls to the ground. To the left, Sir John Cheyney spurs his horse on to challange the King and Henry Tudor's mount rears up, startled by the deafening noise of battle. However, the hitherto uncommitted forces of Sir William Stanley can be seen approaching and their intervention on Tudor's side leads to the defeat and death of Richard III, the last Plantagenet King of England, and the succession of Henry Tudor as Henry VII.

Published from an original oil painting by Graham Turner.

Individually printed on good quality canvas before being stretched on wooden stretcher bars - just like the original oil painting - and then varnished for protection.

Overall canvas size 30"x 20" (76cm x 51cm)

Note that canvas prints have no white border - this is the overall size of the canvas on its wooden stretcher bars and the image extends to the edge.

PLEASE NOTE - POST & PACKING CHARGES FOR CANVAS PRINTS

Because of their size, weight, and the fact they have to be sent packed flat, the cost of shipping canvas prints is considerably more than the paper prints and cards which our usual postal rates are based around. Although we have absorbed some of this additional cost, we do need to charge post and packing at a higher rate for canvas prints than for other products, and this is as follows:

U.K. - £15, Europe - £25, Rest of the World - £40

Canvas prints are carefully packed and despatched insured by courier (UPS or DHL).

Please select the appropriate postal charge during the checkout process - if incorrectly selected, we will adjust the p&p charged as detailed above. For full details of our post & packing charges, please click the 'Store info' button on the left.

The Wars of the Roses

The Medieval Art of Graham Turner

The series of battles fought between the rival Yorkist and Lancastrian claiments to the English throne during the second half of the 15th century are now known as the Wars of the Roses, after badges carried by supporters of the two factions - the white rose of York and the red rose of Lancaster.

Political tensions erupted into open conflict at the first battle of St. Albans in 1455, when the Duke of York took up arms against the Lancastrian King Henry VI, and this battle is one of several that Graham Turner has brought to life in his series of paintings devoted to this turbulent period in our history. Wakefield, Towton, Northampton, Barnet, Tewkesbury, and Bosworth - where Henry Tudor defeated Richard III - these are some of the other battles that have been painted by this highly regarded historical artist who specialises in medieval history, all of which are available as prints from Studio 88.
