EDITORS COMMENTS
. This lithograph, titled "Flight of Matilda from Oxford Castle AD 1142" takes us back in time to a significant moment in English history. Created by Charles Ricketts, this print showcases the dramatic escape of Matilda, an iconic figure during the tumultuous period known as The Anarchy. The scene unfolds within the walls of Oxford Castle, where Matilda finds herself trapped amidst political turmoil and unrest. Clad in intricate costumes and armed with weapons, soldiers surround her as she bravely plots her daring getaway. Winter's icy grip adds an air of urgency to this historical event. Ricketts' attention to detail transports us into this medieval setting; every stone and archway is meticulously rendered. The engraving technique employed further enhances the depth and texture of each element captured on paper. Published circa 1920 as part of Cassells History of England, this lithograph offers a glimpse into a pivotal moment that shaped our nation's past. It serves as a testament to both artistic skill and historical significance. As we gaze upon this print from Fine Art Finder's private collection, we are reminded not only of Matilda's bravery but also the resilience exhibited throughout English history. This artwork invites us to reflect on the struggles faced by those who came before us while celebrating their triumphs against all odds.
