The Warning before Flodden
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating oil painting by John Faed that depicts a crucial moment in Scottish history. The artwork, measuring 135 x 185 cm, can be found at the Wolverhampton Art Gallery in West Midlands, UK. In this scene from 1513, a man dressed in a striking turquoise smock points an accusatory finger towards King James IV of Scotland. The tension and urgency are palpable as the man warns the king about the impending battle of Flodden on September 9th. This historic clash pitted an English army led by Thomas Howard against the invading Scottish forces commanded by James IV himself. Faed's masterful brushwork captures not only the intensity of this moment but also its tragic outcome. As history tells us, despite receiving this warning, James IV chose to proceed with his ill-fated campaign and met his demise on the battlefield. The painting serves as both a reminder of human folly and an homage to those who fell during this significant event. The composition includes various figures such as courtiers, monks, and female attendants surrounding King James IV—a testament to how high-stakes decisions often involve multiple perspectives and influences. "The Warning before Flodden" stands as a poignant tribute to Scotland's past while showcasing Faed's skill in capturing historical narratives through art.
