EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print of "Black Agnes at the siege of Dunbar Castle" takes us back to a significant moment in history. This sepia-toned illustration, created by Charles Ricketts, depicts the remarkable Countess of Dunbar and March, Agnes Randolph. Affectionately known as Black Agnes due to her olive complexion, she gained fame for her courageous defense of Dunbar Castle during the 14th century. In this powerful image, we witness Black Agnes standing tall amidst a chaotic scene of medieval warfare. The castle walls are under relentless bombardment from catapults operated by English soldiers led by William Montacute, 1st Earl of Salisbury. Yet despite being outnumbered and facing overwhelming odds, Black Agnes remains resolute in protecting her stronghold. Her unwavering determination shines through as she fearlessly leads her defenders against the onslaught. With every stone hurled towards them, they stand firm and fight valiantly to preserve their Scottish heritage. This engraving not only captures a pivotal moment in Scottish history but also celebrates the strength and resilience embodied by women like Black Agnes. Her heroic actions have left an indelible mark on our collective memory. As we gaze upon this artwork from Fine Art Finder's private collection, we are reminded that courage knows no boundaries and that even in times of adversity, individuals can rise above themselves to become legends.
