BEAUTIFUL ORIGINAL OIL PAINTING ON
CANVAS "Sir Edmund Verney. The Battle of Edgehill." Captured forever the heroic charge of Sir Edmund Verney. Sir Edmund Verney was King Charles I Royal Standard Bearer at the Battle of Edgehill during the English Civil War 1642 to 1651!
Sir Edmund Verney's, MP for Buckingham, family was split between loyalty to Cromwell and loyalty to the King.
Sir Edmund refused to betray the King and fought proudly as the Royal
Standard bearer. If you look closely at Sir Edmund's sword hand he has a
portraiture ring of King Charles which is still in the possession of
the Verney family today. Sir Edmund died at the battle and all that was
found of him was his hand still clutching the Royal Standard. In fact it
was said that it was near impossible to tear it from his hand so
tightly was it held! It is said that Sir Edmund still haunts the battlefield and his home Middle Claydon!

Wikipedia leon goodman leon-goodman.comGUARANTEED TO BE 100% ORIGINAL AND GENUINE WITH C.O.A. Leon Goodman has been a professional artist for the majority of his working life. His work has been sold at The Omell Gallery, Ascot, as well as Christies, the fine art auction house in London. Many of his works have sold to the U.S for thousands of pounds. (Please check out www.leon-goodman.com ) Since seeing his work, Risborough Art Gallery have made him a regularly featured artist. Leon’s philosophy is that it is not the delineation of the subject which is important, but its fragmentation. He believes a strictly photographic image does not allow the viewer to participate in the painting. If the image is fragmented, the viewer can imagine for himself the missing parts and involve himself in the creation of the whole image. The viewer has seen his own interpretation of the fragmented images; the next viewer may see something different.100% GOLD POWERSELLER.
