EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to one of the most pivotal moments in English history - the Battle of Hastings. With meticulous attention to detail, Peter Dunn's reconstruction drawing brings this epic clash between William the Conqueror and the English army vividly to life. In this particular scene, we witness William utilizing his archers as a last resort during his final attack on the English forces. The tension is palpable as arrows soar through the air, piercing shields and armor alike. The battlefield is strewn with fallen soldiers from both sides, bearing witness to the brutal nature of medieval warfare. Dunn's graphic illustration skillfully captures every element of this historic event - from the intricately designed armor worn by Norman and Saxon warriors to their formidable weapons clashing amidst a chaotic backdrop. It serves as a powerful reminder of how battles were fought during that era and highlights William's strategic prowess in using archers effectively. Displayed at Battle Abbey in East Sussex, this print stands as a testament to England's rich military heritage. It allows us to immerse ourselves in an important chapter of our past while honoring those who fought valiantly for their respective causes. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, we can't help but marvel at its ability to transport us back over nine centuries ago, offering a glimpse into an intense moment that forever shaped British history.
