EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the enigmatic "Saxon King" painting, believed to have been created around 1515 by an anonymous English artist from the 16th century. Painted on a sturdy oak panel measuring 143x25 cm, this artwork is currently housed in the esteemed Society of Antiquaries of London in the United Kingdom. The Saxon King painting depicts a significant moment in British history - the unification of Saxon kingdoms under Athelstan during AD926/927. Originally part of a larger composition, only six fragments remain today, making this particular piece all the more precious. Discovered at Baston House in Keyston, Kent, it offers us a glimpse into early medieval England and its rich royal heritage.

The king depicted wears a majestic crown and emanates authority befitting his position as ruler.
