EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in British history - the wedding of Vortigern, the legendary king of Britain, to Rowena, a Saxon lady. This union marked the beginning of the settlement of Saxons in Britain during the 5th century. The image is steeped in historical significance, showcasing the merging of two cultures and laying the foundation for future events that would shape the course of British history.
The scene depicted in this print is rich with detail and symbolism. Vortigern's regal attire contrasts with Rowena's elegant Saxon garments, reflecting both their individual identities and their coming together as husband and wife. The expressions on their faces convey a mix of emotions - love, duty, and perhaps even apprehension about what lies ahead.
As viewers gaze upon this image, they are transported back in time to witness this momentous occasion firsthand. The intricate patterns on their clothing, the ornate decorations surrounding them, all serve to immerse us in this ancient world where alliances were forged through marriage and power dynamics shifted with each passing day.
Overall, this print serves as a visual reminder of how interconnected our histories are and how seemingly small events can have far-reaching consequences. It is a testament to the enduring power of love and politics in shaping our collective destinies.
