King Charles I & his Wife Queen Henrietta Maria by Anthony van Dyck (1599–1641)

Charles I and his wife Henrietta Maria with their eldest children: Charles, Prince of Wales (Charles II) next to his father and James, Duke of York (James II) next to their mother. The sumtuousness of court life reflected in the costumes here was a subject of much resentment among puritans and Parliamentarians. Interestingly, modern costumiers often find the dress of this period apt for Shakespearean comedies (see Gallery 5, page 3, image 5, and page 4, image 7).
