Panorama of Jedburgh with Jed water river, bridge and abbey ruins, Scotland
Jedburgh Abbey was founded in 1138 by King David I of Scotland for Augustinian monks. The proximity to the English Border meant also that the abbey was badly damaged and rebuilt several times during the Wars of Independence.
The abbey was attacked at least eight times in the 15th and 16th century before falling victim - like so many others of its time - to the Reformation

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the breathtaking panorama of Jedburgh, a historic town in Scotland. The image showcases the majestic Jed Water river flowing gracefully through the landscape, with an ancient stone bridge spanning its width. In the backdrop, we see the hauntingly beautiful ruins of Jedburgh Abbey, which dates back to 1138 when it was founded by King David I for Augustinian monks. The abbey's location near the English Border made it vulnerable to frequent attacks and subsequent reconstructions during the Wars of Independence. Throughout its tumultuous history, this architectural marvel endured at least eight assaults in the 15th and 16th centuries before succumbing - like many other religious establishments of that era - to the Reformation. Frans Sellies skillfully captured this scene, allowing us to appreciate both its natural beauty and historical significance. The juxtaposition of serene waters against crumbling abbey walls evokes a sense of awe and contemplation. It serves as a poignant reminder of how time can shape landscapes and test human resilience. This print is not just an exquisite piece of art but also a window into Scotland's rich past. It invites viewers to delve into history while appreciating nature's enduring allure – truly a treasure for any admirer seeking inspiration or connection with our collective heritage.
