EDITORS COMMENTS
In this lithograph print titled "Fitz-Stephen burns his shipsAD1169" we are transported back in time to witness a pivotal moment in history. Created by Richard Caton Woodville II in the 1920s, this artwork captures the essence of an engraving from Hutchinson's Story of the British Nation. The scene depicted is both dramatic and symbolic. Fitz-Stephen, a historical figure from AD 1169, stands before us as he sets fire to his own ships. The flames engulfing the vessels create a mesmerizing spectacle against the darkened sky. This act signifies Fitz-Stephen's unwavering commitment and determination towards his cause. Woodville's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his lithographic technique. The intricate engravings bring forth a sense of realism that transports us directly into this historical event. We can almost feel the heat radiating from the burning ships and hear the crackling sound of timber consumed by fire. This artwork serves as a reminder that sometimes great sacrifices must be made for progress or conquest. It encapsulates not only an important moment in British history but also reflects upon universal themes such as bravery, ambition, and resilience. As we gaze at this stunning print from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are reminded of our shared human experience throughout time – one filled with triumphs and challenges alike.
