EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "Beowulf finds the head of Aschere" transports us back to the 20th century, specifically the early 1910s. Created by renowned artist John Henry Frederick Bacon, this print is a powerful depiction of a pivotal moment in Anglo-Saxon literature. The scene portrays Beowulf, the legendary hero, discovering the decapitated head of Aschere. Aschere was Hrothgar's most trusted warrior who fell victim to Grendel's mother. The shock and horror on Beowulf's face are palpable as he confronts this gruesome sight. Bacon masterfully captures every detail with his monochrome technique, emphasizing the stark contrast between light and shadow. The composition draws our attention to Beowulf himself - a symbol of heroism and bravery in British folklore. This artwork originates from MI Ebbutt's book "Hero Myths and Legends of the British Race" published in 1910. It showcases not only Bacon's artistic prowess but also highlights the enduring impact of ancient myths on British culture. As we gaze upon this lithograph, we are reminded of England's rich literary heritage and its fascination with heroic tales. This image serves as a poignant reminder that even heroes like Beowulf can be shocked by death and destruction during times of war. With its historical significance and artistic brilliance, this print from Heritage Images offers an immersive glimpse into both mythological storytelling and early 20th-century art
