EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Death of Wm Rufus" takes us back to 12th-century England, capturing a pivotal moment in history. Created by an unknown English artist in the 19th century, this print depicts the dramatic demise of King William II, also known as William Rufus. The scene is filled with intrigue and mystery as we witness the lifeless body of William Rufus lying on the forest floor. The artist skillfully portrays the somber atmosphere surrounding his death, emphasizing both the historical significance and human mortality. This artwork was originally commissioned as an illustration for David Hume's edition of "The History of England" published by R Bowyer in London during 1812. It serves as a visual representation of one of England's most enigmatic deaths. As we gaze upon this powerful image, we are reminded that even kings are not exempt from fate's grasp. The solemnity captured here invites contemplation on our own mortality and reminds us that death is an inevitable part of life's journey. Preserved within a private collection, this engraving allows us to delve into a significant chapter in British history while appreciating the artistic talent behind its creation. Through its intricate details and evocative composition, it transports us to another era where power struggles and untimely demises shaped nations.
