"WP Dutton: A Journey Through Time with Herbert Norris" Step into the captivating world of WP Dutton, a collection of stunning portraits created by the talented artist Herbert Norris in 1924. Each painting transports us to different eras and introduces us to remarkable historical figures. In "A Celtic Chieftainess (Boadicea), " we witness the fierce strength and determination of this legendary warrior queen. Her piercing gaze and regal demeanor command respect and admiration. Traveling further back in time, we encounter a Byzantine Emperor from the Eighth and Ninth Centuries in all his majestic glory. The intricate details of his attire reflect the opulence and grandeur of his reign. The Emperor Justinian takes center stage in another masterpiece by Norris. This portrait captures both his power as a ruler and his intellectual prowess, symbolizing an era marked by significant cultural achievements. Next, we meet Empress Cunigunda, whose gracefulness is beautifully portrayed through delicate brushstrokes. Her elegance echoes her influential role during her reign from 1002-1024. Emperor Henry II, known as "The Holy, " exudes authority while emanating an air of deep spirituality. His expression reflects wisdom gained through years of ruling over vast territories. Norris also brings to life a French King from either the Carlovingian or Capetian Dynasties. The intricately designed crown atop his head signifies not only royalty but also centuries-old traditions passed down through generations. Hengist, Chief of the Angles in AD 449, stands tall with an aura that speaks volumes about leadership qualities required during tumultuous times. His presence evokes both fearlessness on the battlefield and strategic brilliance off it. Representing King Arthur wearing British Chieftain costume from the Sixth Century AD allows us to glimpse into one of history's most mythical figures—a legend who continues to captivate our imaginations even today.
