EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a maquette for the Statue of Alfred the Great, created around 1901 by William Hamo Thornycroft. Crafted from painted plaster, this exquisite piece measures 37.5x13x12 cm and is currently housed in Leeds Museums and Art Galleries in the UK. The maquette depicts Alfred the Great, a legendary figure who reigned as King of Wessex during the 9th century. Standing tall with his sword raised high and shield firmly in place, he exudes strength and leadership. This sculpture offers a glimpse into medieval times when royalty commanded respect through their bravery on the battlefield. Thornycroft's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this artwork. From the intricate armor adorning Alfred's body to his regal attire, each element reflects his status as a powerful monarch. The artist skillfully captures both the physical prowess and noble character that defined this iconic British ruler. As we admire this maquette, we are transported back in time to an era marked by Anglo-Saxon influence and warrior culture. It serves as a reminder of our rich history and pays homage to one of England's most revered kings. This print not only celebrates Thornycroft's artistic talent but also invites us to appreciate Alfred the Great's enduring legacy as an emblematic figure in English history.
