EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a significant moment in history - the Anointing and Crowning of Edward the Confessor in 1043. The image, taken from the Life of St. Edward the Confessor manuscript dating back to the 13th century, transports us back to medieval England. In this scene, we witness King Edward being anointed and crowned with great solemnity. The artist's attention to detail is remarkable; every intricate line on his regal crown and ornate robes is beautifully captured on vellum. Edward the Confessor, an Anglo-Saxon king of England, stands tall and dignified as he receives this sacred ceremony. His expression reflects both humility and power, embodying his revered status as a saintly ruler. The presence of a hunting horn adds an intriguing element to this composition. Perhaps it symbolizes Edward's love for nature or his role as a protector of his kingdom. Located at the University Library in Cambridge, UK, this print holds immense historical value. It serves as a testament to English heritage and offers us a glimpse into medieval traditions that shaped our world today. As we admire this masterpiece by Bridgeman Images, let us appreciate not only its artistic beauty but also its ability to transport us through time - reminding us of those who came before us and their enduring impact on our society.
