The Picts and Scots Checkmated, AD 120
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a vibrant and humorous colour lithograph by Arthur Moreland that captures a satirical moment in history. Set against the backdrop of Hadrian's Wall, this cartoon-like illustration depicts a comical scene where the Picts and Scots are hilariously blocked from entering Scotland. Dressed in traditional Highland costumes, the Scottish soldiers find themselves faced with an unexpected obstacle - a towering wall manned by Roman soldiers. The exaggerated expressions on their faces convey their frustration as they are kept out of their own land. Meanwhile, the Romans stand triumphantly atop the wall, symbolizing their victory over these persistent invaders. Moreland's clever use of satire adds another layer to this artwork. Through his scathing commentary, he highlights the historical tensions between different cultures within Great Britain while also poking fun at British identity and pride. This print not only showcases Moreland's artistic talent but also serves as a reminder of how art can be used to reflect social and political issues. It invites viewers to consider themes such as national identity, barriers, and cultural clashes that have persisted throughout history. Overall, "The Picts and Scots Checkmated" is a whimsical yet thought-provoking piece that offers both entertainment and insight into historical dynamics.
