EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an engraving of Alfred the Great and a pilgrim, originally painted by Benjamin West in the 19th century. The detailed artwork depicts a scene filled with historical significance and emotion.
Alfred the Great, known for his contributions to Anglo-Saxon England, is shown alongside a humble pilgrim in this facsimile of West's original painting. The composition beautifully captures the contrast between royalty and commoner, highlighting themes of unity and humility.
The intricate details in the engraving bring to life the characters' expressions and gestures, allowing viewers to immerse themselves in this moment from centuries past. The use of light and shadow adds depth to the image, creating a sense of drama that draws you into their world.
Published in Paris in 1871 as part of "Histoire des peintres," this engraving has been preserved through time as a testament to both artistic skill and historical storytelling. It serves as a reminder of our shared human experiences across different eras and social classes.
Through Jaime Abecasis's lens, this print captures not just an image but also a piece of history that continues to resonate with audiences today.
