EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a dramatic scene from the English Civil War, depicting Roundhead soldiers at an Arundel Church. Painted by John Frederick Herring Snr between 1847 and 1851, this oil on canvas artwork measures 100.3x125.7 cm and is currently housed in the Towneley Hall Art Gallery and Museum in Burnley, Lancashire. In this powerful image, we witness the destruction caused by war as the Roundhead soldiers pillage and plunder their way through the church grounds. One soldier can be seen engrossed in reading a Bible amidst the chaos, symbolizing both religious fervor and perhaps seeking solace during these turbulent times. The presence of horses adds to the sense of movement and urgency within the painting. These majestic animals were not only essential for transportation but also played a significant role in warfare during that era. Herring's attention to detail is evident throughout his work; every brushstroke brings life to each figure portrayed. The biblical references scattered across the composition highlight how religion was intertwined with politics during this period. This thought-provoking piece serves as a reminder of our history's tumultuous moments while showcasing Herring's skillful portrayal of both human emotion and animal behavior. It invites viewers to reflect upon themes such as conflict, destruction, faith, and resilience – timeless subjects that continue to resonate today.
