Catherine Douglas - fresco by Mr. Redgrave, 1844. Creator: Unknown
Catherine Douglas - fresco by Mr. Redgrave, 1844. After a fresco by Richard Redgrave, exhibited at Westminster Hall in London: Catherine Douglas barring the door with her arm, to withstand the assassins of James I. of Scotland...Unattended even by a body guard, and confiding in the love of his subjects, James was residing within the walls of the Carthusian Monastery at Scone, which he had founded and endowed. Graham, of Strathearn, seized the occasion, and brought down a party by night to the neighbourhood. Seconded by traitors within, he gained possession of the gates and interior passages...Catherine Douglas, one of the Queens maids of honour, springing forward to bolt the door of the outer apartment, found the bar had been clandestinely removed: with resolute self-devotion she supplied the place with her naked arm. From " Pictorial Times", 1844

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic fresco of Catherine Douglas, created by Mr. Redgrave in 1844. The original artwork by Richard Redgrave was exhibited at Westminster Hall in London and depicts a remarkable moment from Scottish history. In this scene, we witness Catherine Douglas standing courageously before a door, using her own arm as a makeshift bar to protect King James I of Scotland from assassins. This act of heroism took place during the 15th century when James resided within the walls of the Carthusian Monastery at Scone. The image captures the bravery and loyalty displayed by Catherine, who was one of Queen's maids of honour. Unfazed by danger and unaccompanied by any bodyguards, she fearlessly defended her king against traitors who had gained access to the monastery. The photograph beautifully portrays Catherine's determination as she improvises with unwavering resolve to secure the safety of her beloved monarch. Her selfless devotion is truly inspiring and serves as a testament to her character. This stunning visual representation transports us back in time, allowing us to appreciate not only Catherine's heroic actions but also provides insight into medieval Scottish history. Through this powerful image, we are reminded that acts of bravery can come from unexpected sources and that even in times of great peril, individuals like Catherine Douglas can rise above adversity for love and loyalty towards their country and its leaders.
