EDITORS COMMENTS
This colour-printed wood engraving from 1864 depicts the tragic end of Harold II, who was nominated as the successor to the throne by Edward the Confessor. The scene captures the moment when Harold was struck down by a Norman arrow at the Battle of Hastings in 1066, marking a pivotal moment in English history.
Artist James Doyle skillfully brings this historical event to life with intricate details and vibrant colours that draw viewers into the heart of the battle. The intensity of the confrontation between Angles and Saxons against their Norman invaders is palpable, as weapons clash and arrows fly through the air.
Harold's untimely demise on the battlefield symbolizes not only his own personal tragedy but also signifies a significant turning point for England. His death paved the way for William, Duke of Normandy, to claim victory and establish himself as King William I.
As we gaze upon this powerful image, we are reminded of Harold's valiant efforts to defend his kingdom and uphold his duty as king. His legacy lives on through art like this print, preserving his memory for generations to come.
