EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a momentous scene from history - King Alfred at Athelney, Somerset, surrounded by his loyal followers. Created around 1880 by the talented artists William Bell Scott and Alice Boyd, this watercolor on paper artwork is now part of a private collection. The image originates from drawings of the painted windows in the Hall at the Royal Military Academy in Sandhurst. It showcases an exquisite stained glass design featuring King Alfred and his entourage. The intricate details and vibrant colors reflect the influence of Pre-Raphaelite art movement. In this composition, we witness King Alfred commanding attention as he addresses his soldiers with great authority. The gothic-inspired window design adds an air of grandeur to the scene, emphasizing the significance of this historical event. Athelney holds immense importance in English history as it served as a refuge for King Alfred during his struggle against Viking invasions.
