The Glorious Revolution, a pivotal moment in history, saw the rise of William of Orange as he landed at Torbay in 1688. With his victory at the Battle of the Boyne in 1690, William solidified his position as King of England and Stadtholder. The revolution brought about significant changes, symbolized by the grandeur depicted on the ceiling of the Painted Hall from 1707-14. As Frederick, Duke of Schomberg fought alongside William during this tumultuous time, an engraving by Jacobus Houbraken immortalizes their alliance. However, for James II, it was a lost cause as he fled to France amidst political upheaval. William's triumphs were not limited to battlefields alone; he also entered Exeter victoriously in 1688. The Highlanders' valiant efforts at the Battle of Killiecrankie on July 27th, 1689 are captured through lithographs that showcase their bravery and determination. Amidst all these events unfolded a love story - Mary Stuart stood proudly beside her husband Prince William III as depicted in an oil painting from around 1683. Another portrait captures William himself with regal splendor between c. 1692-97. Finally, we witness the arrival of William into England in November 1688 through a lithograph that encapsulates both hope and uncertainty for what lies ahead. The Glorious Revolution forever altered England's course - it marked a turning point towards constitutional monarchy and religious tolerance while leaving an indelible mark on history's canvas.
