Queen Boudicca,
EDITORS COMMENTS
sculpted by John Thomas in 1856, was a powerful and evocative work showcased at the Royal Academy Exhibition that year. Thomas, an English sculptor known for his improvement and progression in artistic skill, created this masterpiece depicting Boudicca, the legendary queen of the ancient British Iceni tribe. The sculpture captures the moment of Boudicca's inspiring speech to her people, urging them to avenge the loss of their liberty and the unjust treatment inflicted upon her and her children. Boudicca's story is one of courage and resistance against the conquering forces of the Roman Empire in AD 60 or 61. She is considered a British national heroine and a symbol of the struggle for justice and independence. The quote inscribed in the Illustrated London News of 1856 reads, "It was much better (said the Queen of the Iceni) to fall honourably in defence of liberty than be again exposed to the outrages of the Romans." Thomas's sculpture of Boudicca embodies the heroic dignity of woman. Her determined expression and regal bearing convey the strength and resolve of a leader who refused to submit to the oppressive rule of the Romans. The work stands as a testament to the enduring spirit of the British people and their proud history. John Thomas's "Queen Boudicca" remains an iconic and inspiring piece of art, a reminder of the courage and resilience of those who fought for their freedom and the legacy they left behind. This image, taken from the Illustrated London News of 1856, offers a glimpse into the past and the powerful impact of art in shaping our collective memory and identity.
