King Edward VII (1841-1910)

Painter: Sir Samuel Luke Fildes (British, 1844–1927)

Date: 1902

Medium: Oil on canvas

Collection: Royal Collection Trust, London, United Kingdom

Edward VII

Edward VII (Albert Edward; 9 November 1841 – 6 May 1910) was King of the United Kingdom and the British Dominions, and Emperor of India, from 22 January 1901 until his death in 1910.

The second child and eldest son of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, Edward, nicknamed "Bertie", was related to royalty throughout Europe. He was Prince of Wales and heir apparent to the British throne for almost 60 years. During his mother's reign, he was largely excluded from political influence and came to personify the fashionable, leisured elite. He married Princess Alexandra of Denmark in 1863, and the couple had six children.

This is the State portrait of King Edward VII commissioned from the artist Sir Luke Fildes in 1901. Reminiscent of the state portrait of George IV by Sir Thomas Lawrence, the King stands, an imposing figure, raised on a dais, holding the Sceptre in his right hand; the Imperial State Crown and the Orb rest on a table on the left. He wears Parliamentary Robes over Field-Marshal's uniform, with the sash and badge of the Royal Victorian Order and the Star of the Order of the Garter.
