EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "The death of the Earl of Athole" transports us back to a significant moment in British history. Created by Allan Stewart in 1920 as an illustration for Hutchinson's Story of the British Nation, this print captures the tragic demise of Padraig, Mormaer of Atholl. The scene depicted is both haunting and powerful. Amidst billowing smoke and engulfing flames, we witness the final moments of Patrick of Atholl and his companions. The artist skillfully conveys their desperation and impending doom through intricate details that evoke a sense of urgency. As we gaze upon this historical artwork, we are reminded that even those who hold positions of power are not immune to tragedy. The Chronicle of Melrose reveals that while lodging in Haddington, East Lothian, Patrick's enemies set fire to his residence with fatal consequences. Through this lithograph, Stewart immortalizes a pivotal event from Scottish history. It serves as a poignant reminder that political rivalries can have devastating consequences for individuals caught in their midst. This particular print comes from a private collection known as The Stapleton Collection. Its inclusion within Fine Art Finder allows art enthusiasts worldwide to appreciate its significance and delve into the rich tapestry woven by artists like Allan Stewart.
