EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Saxon King, a remarkable oil painting on oak panels dating back to 1515. Created by an anonymous English artist from the 16th century, this masterpiece measures an impressive 143x76 cm and is currently housed in the Society of Antiquaries of London, UK. The artwork depicts a significant moment in history - the unification of the Saxon kingdoms of Britain under Athelstan in AD926/927. It is one of only six surviving fragments that were once part of a larger composition. Discovered at Baston House in Keyston, Kent, these panels offer us a glimpse into early medieval times. Although slightly damaged over time, this panel painting exudes regality and power. The Saxon King proudly wears his crown as he symbolizes the strength and authority associated with monarchy. This image transports us back to a bygone era when England was ruled by kings and queens. The craftsmanship displayed here is truly exceptional; every brushstroke reveals meticulous attention to detail. The workshop responsible for creating this work must have possessed immense skill and talent.
