EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph transports us back to the dramatic Battle of Clontarf in 1014, where the legendary King Brian Boru met his tragic end. The image depicts a chaotic battlefield strewn with fallen soldiers, their shields scattered across the ground. In the center stands a valiant warrior, unmistakably Brian Boru himself, clad in regal attire and wielding an axe as his weapon of choice. Brian Boru's reign as High King of Ireland was marked by both political prowess and military might. However, it was at Clontarf that he faced his greatest challenge – a fierce army led by the King of Leinster and Viking forces from Dublin. Despite being outnumbered, Brian Boru fearlessly fought alongside his men until his last breath. The artist Morris Meredith Williams skillfully captures the intensity and gravity of this historical event through intricate details and masterful shading techniques. Each stroke brings life to this medieval scene, evoking emotions ranging from admiration for Brian Boru's bravery to sorrow for the lives lost on that fateful day. Eleanor Means Hull's publication "The Northmen in Britain" serves as an invaluable source for understanding this pivotal moment in Irish history. This print not only immortalizes Brian Boru but also pays homage to all those who fought alongside him on that blood-soaked battlefield at Clontarf.
