EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Relief figure of St Magnus from Kirkwall Cathedral, Orkney. Created by artist CM Dixon in the 20th century, this sculpture depicts Magnus the Martyr, who was once the Earl of Orkney from 1106 to 1115. Known for his piety and gentleness, Magnus's character was often misunderstood as cowardice by some. Tragically, he met his demise at the hands of his cousin's cook, Haakon when struck on the head with an axe. The relief figure is currently housed in Tankerness House Museum in Kirkwall and serves as a powerful testament to religious devotion and martyrdom. The intricately carved male likeness holds a sword, symbolizing both strength and faith. Located in Scotland, this piece of art represents not only a historical figure but also reflects Scottish heritage and culture. The photograph captures every detail of this remarkable sculpture with precision. Through its depiction of war weaponry juxtaposed with piety, this artwork offers viewers a glimpse into medieval times when aristocracy played significant roles in shaping society. CM Dixon's talent shines through as he expertly brings history to life through his artistic interpretation. This print is an invaluable addition to any collection that celebrates artistry intertwined with religious narratives and Scottish history.
