EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a historical moment in vivid detail. Titled "Alfred the Great and the pilgrim" this engraving by Benjamin West depicts a scene from 9th century England, during the Middle Ages. The image showcases Alfred the Great, an iconic figure in British history known for his leadership and resilience. He is depicted alongside a humble pilgrim, symbolizing compassion and generosity. The artist's attention to detail brings this historic encounter to life, showcasing Alfred's regal presence juxtaposed with the pilgrim's weary yet hopeful expression. Published in Paris in 1871 as part of "Histoire des peintres" by The widow of Jules Renouard, this fac-simile faithfully reproduces Benjamin West's original painting. Meticulously captured by photographer Jaime Abecasis, every brushstroke and intricate detail can be appreciated through this high-quality photo print. The image evokes a sense of hunger and hardship prevalent during that era while highlighting acts of kindness amidst adversity. It serves as a reminder of our shared humanity throughout history. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are transported back to a time when England was still emerging as a united kingdom. This print not only preserves an important historical event but also invites us to reflect on themes such as generosity, charity, and the enduring spirit of mankind.
