EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph print, titled "Portrait of William, Duke of Normandy, with his banner" showcases the powerful figure of William as he receives a messenger. Created by Charles Alfred Stothard in 1856 for the Society of Antiquaries' publication on The Bayeux Tapestry Elucidated, this artwork beautifully captures the essence of the 11th-century duke. In this portrait, William stands tall and regal in his chlamys robe while holding his banner high. His commanding presence is further emphasized by the intricate details and vibrant colors brought to life through chromolithography. The artist's attention to detail transports us back to a pivotal moment in history when William was preparing for battle. The print not only serves as a visual representation but also provides historical context. It offers insight into medieval England and its military prowess during that era. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of Britain's rich heritage and the significant role played by figures like William in shaping its destiny. Displayed within a private collection, this piece allows us to appreciate both Stothard's artistic skill and Mossman's mastery of chromolithography. Through their collaboration, they have immortalized an iconic figure from British history while preserving the beauty and grandeur associated with it. As we admire this remarkable artwork from Fine Art Finder's Bridgeman Images collection, let us be transported back in time to witness firsthand the strength and determination embodied by Duke William as he prepares for battle with his loyal troops at his side.
