King & Queen

myminifactory

The sculpture's origins date back to Elizabeth II's coronation era, yet it centers on a timeless notion - the monarch as an omnipotent or divinely ordained figure. Moore merges realistic details like hands and feet with more stylized representations of heads, aiming to convey the fusion of humanity and divine power within monarchical authority. This vision of steadfast and benevolent leadership resonated strongly in the post-war atmosphere of ambiguity.
