EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the era of the Normans, immersing us in a scene of medieval warfare. The illustration by Ivan Lapper, created in the 1990s, beautifully captures the intensity and skill of a Norman soldier engaged in battle. With his hand-and-a-half sword raised high above his head, he lunges forward with determination and precision towards an unseen adversary. In the background stands a magnificent medieval castle keep, its imposing presence reminding us of the strategic importance these fortresses held during this period. The artist's attention to detail is evident as every stone and turret are meticulously depicted, transporting us to an age where castles were not just architectural marvels but also symbols of power and authority. Lapper's reconstruction brings history alive through his masterful use of graphics. His portrayal allows us to visualize how these warriors fought on the battlefield, showcasing their weaponry and tactics. It serves as a reminder that history is not merely confined within dusty books but can be vividly experienced through art. This evocative illustration offers viewers a glimpse into one aspect of Norman history - their military prowess - while simultaneously highlighting Lapper's talent for historical accuracy and storytelling through visual representation. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back centuries ago when knights roamed these lands and castles stood tall against any threat that dared approach their walls.
