EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "King Alfred the Great forgets the cakes prepared by the Danish house" takes us back to a moment in history filled with intrigue and regret. The engraving, created by French School in the 19th century, depicts a scene from 878 when King Alfred sought refuge at Athelney in Somerset marshes during Danish invasion. Legend has it that a generous woman offered him shelter and even went as far as preparing cakes for his sustenance. However, distracted while stringing his bow, King Alfred allows the cakes to burn in the fireplace of her humble abode. In this image, we witness their confrontation as she reproaches him for his lack of attention. The artist beautifully captures the emotions on both their faces - anger etched across hers and remorse visible on King Alfred's countenance. This historical event symbolizes not only an act of forgetfulness but also serves as a reminder of human fallibility amidst times of great adversity. Through this engraving, Stefano Bianchetti brings to life an important episode from British history where generosity clashes with severity, showcasing how small acts can have significant consequences. It is a testament to our shared humanity and serves as a poignant reminder that even great leaders are susceptible to moments of distraction and oversight.
