EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph depicts a pivotal moment in history, as Alfred the Great incites the Saxons to resist the invading Danes. The vibrant colors bring this scene to life, showcasing George Frederick Watts' artistic brilliance. Alfred stands tall and resolute on a cliff overlooking the sea, his commanding presence radiating bravery and leadership. With outstretched arms and an expression of determination, he encourages his fellow countrymen to stand strong against their Norsemen invaders. The worried faces of the Saxons watching from below reflect their fear and anguish, but also their trust in Alfred's guidance. The cliffs symbolize England's steadfastness in the face of adversity, while the turbulent sea represents both danger and opportunity for these ancient warriors. As Viking longboats approach ominously from afar, Alfred's incitement becomes all the more urgent. This image captures not only a specific historical event but also embodies timeless themes such as courage, resistance, and national identity. It serves as a reminder of Britain's rich heritage and its enduring spirit throughout centuries of turmoil. Watts' masterful portrayal transports us back to 9th century England when Anglo-Saxons fought valiantly against Danish invasions. It is a testament to Alfred's greatness that he remains an iconic figure even today – revered for his leadership during this tumultuous period. In this print by Bridgeman Images from Fine Art Finder, we are reminded of our shared history and encouraged to embrace our own inner strength when faced with challenges – just as King Alfred did so many centuries ago.
