EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the historical figure of Harold II, who lived from c1022 to 1066. In this image, we witness a pivotal moment in English history as Harold is nominated by Edward the Confessor to succeed him as King of Angles and Saxons. The artist James Doyle skillfully brings this scene to life through his remarkable colour-printed wood engraving created in 1864. However, tragedy befalls Harold during the infamous Battle of Hastings in 1066. As depicted in this print, he meets his untimely demise when struck by a Norman arrow. This significant event forever alters the course of British royalty and marks the beginning of Norman invasion on English soil. The attention to detail and vividness captured by Doyle's artistic prowess allows us to immerse ourselves in this historic moment. Through this artwork, we gain insight into the turmoil and chaos that engulfed England during that era. This print serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by those who fought for power and land during times of war. It also highlights how art can preserve important historical events for future generations to appreciate and learn from.
