The 1510s were a decade filled with significant events and artistic masterpieces. In this era, the art of brass rubbing flourished, capturing intricate details of historical figures like Ralph Hamsterley, the rector of Oddington in Oxon. Meanwhile, on the battlefield, the Battle of Flodden reached its peak height in Northumberland on September 9th, 1513. This fierce clash between England and Scotland left an indelible mark on history. Amidst these conflicts, another attack took place - French raiders targeted Brighthelmstone (now known as Brighton). The town faced turmoil as it defended itself against these invaders seeking to plunder its riches. Artistic expressions also thrived during this period. A vellum leaf showcased a metalcut illustration depicting the martyrdom of a saint in 1510. Another artwork portrayed Christ nailed to the Cross while being presented by a priest alongside a donor with his arm in a sling. Religious themes continued to inspire artists throughout this decade. One notable piece depicted The Madonna and Child with the Infant Saint John the Baptist and two angels. Its beauty captivated viewers and reflected religious devotion. In terms of military strategy, detailed plans were drawn for Flodden Field - where England clashed once again with Scotland during their infamous battle. These maps provided insight into tactical maneuvers employed by both sides. Not limited to battles or religious scenes alone, art encompassed various subjects such as Utopia - represented through woodcuts that offered glimpses into an idealized world envisioned by Sir Thomas More in 1516. Saint Christopher was immortalized through oil on panel painting in 1517; his image symbolizing protection for travelers across treacherous paths. Lastly, emotions ran deep within artworks like The Mater Dolorosa from around 1509-1511; painted with oils on panel portraying Mary's sorrowful state after witnessing her son's crucifixion.
