EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Maclise, we witness a poignant moment in history as Harold bids adieu to William before returning to England. The scene is filled with emotion and symbolism, beautifully captured by the artist's skilled hand. Harold stands tall and resolute, ready to embark on his journey back home. His face reflects a mix of determination and sadness, knowing that his fate awaits him across the sea. Meanwhile, William loads him with farewell gifts, a gesture of friendship amidst their political differences. The composition is rich in detail, allowing us to delve into the narrative further. Each character's attire speaks volumes about their roles in this historical event - Harold representing England's last Anglo-Saxon king and William symbolizing the Norman Conquest. As we gaze upon this engraving from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are transported back in time to an era of great change and turmoil. It serves as a reminder of how history shapes our present and future. This artwork was originally created for The Norman Conquest publication in 1866 by Art Union. Its inclusion here allows us to appreciate Maclise's talent for storytelling through art while honoring the legacy left behind by these influential figures: Harold and William the Conqueror. Let this print be a window into an important chapter in English history - one where farewells were exchanged alongside gifts laden with meaning.
