This print showcases Edward Coley Burne-Jones' masterpiece, "The Battle of Flodden Field". Created in 1882 using gouache and watercolor on paper, this artwork measures 52x100 cm and is currently housed at the Musee d'Orsay in Paris, France. "The Battle of Flodden Field" depicts a significant historical event that took place in 1513 between James IV of Scotland and Henry VIII of England. In the center-right of the painting, we witness James IV mortally wounded, symbolizing the Scottish defeat during this intense clash.
