The Last Feast of Robert De Comines Men at Durham, 1069 - A Glimpse into the Turbulent 11th Century
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print by Richard Caton Woodville II, we are transported back to the year 1069 in England. The image captures a pivotal moment during the Norman rebellion led by Robert De Comines and his men in Durham. As night falls over the country, a feast is held as a final act of defiance against their oppressors. The vibrant colors bring to life the atmosphere of both celebration and impending doom. The flickering candlelight casts eerie shadows on the faces of these brave rebels who have dared to challenge Norman rule. Their expressions reveal determination mixed with trepidation as they gather around tables laden with food. Woodville's attention to detail allows us to immerse ourselves in this historical event. From the elaborate costumes worn by both English and Norman figures, to the rustic setting that reflects a time long gone, every element adds depth and authenticity. This powerful illustration was originally featured in Walter Hutchinson's "Story of the British Nation" serving as a visual representation of an important chapter in British history. It serves as a reminder that even amidst turmoil and rebellion, there were moments when people came together for one last feast before facing an uncertain future. As we gaze upon this print, we cannot help but be captivated by its historical significance and appreciate Woodville's skillful portrayal of this dramatic scene from our past.
