EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a profound moment in Scottish history. James III of Scotland, a fifteenth-century monarch, is depicted on his knees in prayer, with his son and future successor, James IV of Scotland, standing behind him. The scene is made even more significant by the presence of St. Andrew, who can be seen placing a crown upon James III's head. The image exudes a sense of reverence and devotion as the king humbly seeks guidance from above. His son stands dutifully by his side, symbolizing the passing down of power and responsibility from one generation to the next. The portrait itself is an exquisite example of eighteenth-century engraving artistry. The intricate details capture every nuance of expression on each figure's face while emphasizing their regal stature. Published in 1797 as part of Iconographia Scotica or Portraits of Illustrious Persons of Scotland, this print serves as both a historical document and a work of art. It offers viewers a glimpse into the lives and personalities that shaped Scottish royalty during this era. Ken Welsh's masterful reproduction ensures that this remarkable piece continues to inspire awe centuries later. Whether displayed in private collections or exhibited publicly, it serves as a testament to the enduring legacy left by these influential figures in Scottish history.
