EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the historic Battle of Flodden Field, which unfolded in Northumberland in 1513. The skilled artist Ivan Lapper has meticulously reconstructed an English soldier from that era, capturing the essence of his bravery and strength on this vivid illustration. Dressed head to toe in gleaming armor, the soldier stands tall and resolute, ready for battle. His eyes pierce through the image with a determined gaze, reflecting both courage and determination. In one hand he holds a formidable poleaxe, its sharp blade glinting under the sunlight. This weapon symbolizes not only his readiness for combat but also his expertise as a warrior. The attention to detail is remarkable; every piece of armor is intricately depicted, showcasing the craftsmanship of Tudor-era military attire. From his helmet adorned with plumes to his sturdy boots planted firmly on the battlefield soil - each element adds authenticity to this powerful portrayal. As we study this graphic illustration closely, it transports us into a pivotal moment in history when nations clashed and lives were forever changed. It serves as a reminder of those who fought valiantly during times of conflict and honors their sacrifice. Ivan Lapper's artwork breathes life into historical events like no other medium can. Through this mesmerizing print, we are given an opportunity to connect with our past and appreciate the resilience displayed by soldiers who stood at Flodden Field centuries ago.
