EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate artwork titled "Baron Glenlyon, Knight of the Gael" created by James Henry Nixon in 1839. The piece, measuring 33.5x48 cm, is a stunning combination of pencil, watercolor, gouache, and gold paint on paper. Originally intended as a preliminary design for a lithograph featured in the book "The Eglinton Tournament" this artwork depicts James Murray, 1st Baron Glenlyon. Baron Glenlyon was not only a British Army officer but also an esteemed Member of Parliament and peer during his time. The illustration transports us back to medieval times when jousting tournaments were held at Eglinton Castle in 1839. The image captures the essence of this historical event with its portrayal of competitors on horseback engaged in thrilling jousts. In addition to the intense sporting action, bagpipes can be seen and heard as pipers lead a grand parade through Scottish streets. Nixon's attention to detail is evident throughout this masterpiece; every stroke brings life to both human and animal subjects alike. Horses play a significant role in this composition as they are skillfully depicted alongside their riders. This remarkable print from Fine Art Finder allows us to appreciate Nixon's artistic talent while immersing ourselves in the excitement and pageantry of medieval jousting tournaments. It serves as an extraordinary reminder of our rich history and cultural traditions that continue to captivate audiences today.
