EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating oil on canvas print titled "Althing in Session" by William Gersham Collingwood takes us back to the historical foundation of the Althingi, the Icelandic parliament, at Thingvellir in 930 AD. This mesmerizing landscape painting showcases a majestic assembly amidst rolling hills and rocky coastal cliffs. The artist skillfully captures the essence of justice and democracy as lawmakers gather under a grand tent, surrounded by an eager crowd. The painting's composition is enhanced by the presence of a distinguished judge seated atop a prominent rock formation, symbolizing his authority over legislation. The mountains in the background stand tall and proud, representing strength and stability within this Scandinavian legal system. The vast sea stretching out beyond signifies both Iceland's maritime heritage and its connection to broader horizons. As we delve into this artwork, we are transported to an era where lawspeaker presided over matters of great importance for society. The coastline serves as a reminder that these discussions took place not only within walls but also embraced nature's beauty and power. Collingwood's meticulous attention to detail brings life to this historic scene while allowing viewers to appreciate the significance of Althingi as one of Europe's oldest parliamentary institutions. This remarkable piece invites contemplation on constitutional principles that have shaped societies throughout history.
