Henry V is a mixed media painting on paper (mounted on board), painted in Paris in 1995, matted and attractively framed in blond Maple, measuring 24 x 20” framed (14 x 11” image) and has been exhibited in Paris, New York and Scottsdale. $3000.00 USD As part of an ongoing quest to redefine portraiture from imagination, Secunda has given Henry V a cocky smirk and visceral characterization of defiance. Using linear strokes and bold color in creating facial form, this unique portrait expresses the inner physical structure of Henry’s eccentric personality. Henry the Fifth (or Hank Cinq) , King of England, known as the most outrageous ruler of England in the 15th century, was featured in 3 plays by Shakespeare. An infant terrible, who died at the young age of 35, despite a life of personal intrigue, achieved great military victories over France where he died at the Chateau de Vincennes in 1422. |
