EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in history at Nottingham Castle. Painted by Henry Dawson in 1847, the artwork titled "Nottingham Castle (King Charles I Raising His Standard, 24 August 1642)" transports us back to the dramatic events of the 17th century. The panoramic view allows us to fully immerse ourselves in the stunning scenery and landscape surrounding this historic castle. In this scene, we witness King Charles I raising his standard on that fateful day in August 1642, marking the beginning of the English Civil War. The drawbridge stands tall as men gather on the plateau, their figures adding depth and realism to this vision from centuries ago. A flag flutters proudly amidst breaking clouds overhead, symbolizing both hope and uncertainty during these turbulent times. Dawson's skillful use of oil on canvas brings out every intricate detail of Nottingham Castle's architecture and its surroundings. This piece not only showcases historical significance but also serves as a testament to Dawson's talent as an artist. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing print, we can't help but imagine what it must have been like for those present during such a monumental event. It is a reminder that even through art alone, history can be brought vividly back to life before our very eyes.
