I find it interesting that this portrait of James II makes him look so calm and chill

But then there are these other portraits of him, and they make him look determined and almost angry

This isn't a criticism, just an observation

Wreck of historic royal ship discovered off the English coast

The wreck of one of the most famous ships of the 17th century—which sank 340 years ago while carrying the future King of England James Stuart—has been discovered off the coast of Norfolk in the UK, it can be revealed today.

Since running aground on a sandbank on May 6, 1682, the wreck of the warship the Gloucester has lain half-buried on the seabed, its exact whereabouts unknown until brothers Julian and Lincoln Barnwell, with their friend James Little, found it after a four-year search.

Due to the age and prestige of the ship, the condition of the wreck, the finds already rescued, and the accident's political context, the discovery is described by maritime history expert Prof, Claire Jowitt, of the University of East Anglia (UEA), as the most important maritime discovery since the Mary Rose.

PORTRAIT OF JAMES STUART (1612 - 1655), FOURTH DUKE OF LENNOX AND FIRST DUKE OF RICHMOND, AS PARIS HOLDING AN APPLE

https://www.sothebys.com/en/buy/auction/2019/master-paintings-sculpture-day-sale/sir-anthony-van-dyck-and-studio-portrait-of-james

This portrait of James Stuart is one of two versions made by Van Dyck and his studio; the other is at the Musée du Louvre, Paris. While Larsen described our painting as a replica of the Louvre portrait, Barnes et al. accepted both as the work of Van Dyck and his studio under his direction (see Literature). Lennox appears here in the guise of Paris, the shepherd from Greek mythology tasked with awarding the golden apple to the fairest goddess.

Lennox attended Trinity College, Dublin and traveled the continent before being appointed Gentleman of the Bedchamber in 1625, knighted in 1630, and becoming a Privy Councillor in 1633. He was a close friend of King Charles I and supported the Royalist cause, lending the King large sums of money on two occasions. He was created Duke of Richmond in 1641 and was commissioner for the defense of Oxford 1644 - 46. He married Mary, daughter of George Villiers, 1st Duke of Buckingham; their only son Esme died at age eleven.

Lennox sat for Van Dyck three times: the first portrait of Lennox and his dog, dated to 1633, is full length and commemorates Lennox's new status as Knight of the Garter (Metropolitan Museum, New York).1 A second, horizontal portrait of circa 1636 depicts Lennox seated with his beloved greyhound again (Kenwood House).2 The head and the top of his blouse with jeweled clasp were taken from the Kenwood portrait and reused for the present image. From the third sitting, Van Dyck painted a full-length portrait of Lennox in black (Earl of Leicester).3 Lennox's family was among Van Dyck's most important patrons; his siblings are also the subjects of celebrated portraits from Van Dyck's English period.
