EDITORS COMMENTS
King Alfred in Neatherd Cottage, 1806, (1912) captures a poignant moment in history through the masterful brushstrokes of artist David Wilkie. This print, featured in Bibbys Annual 1912 publication, offers a glimpse into the private life of one of England's most revered monarchs. In this scene, King Alfred the Great finds solace and respite from his royal duties within the humble walls of Neatherd Cottage. Surrounded by his loyal subjects - both human and animal - he immerses himself in literature as he reads aloud to an attentive audience. The warm glow from the fireplace illuminates their faces, creating an intimate atmosphere that invites viewers to step into this historical tableau. Wilkie's attention to detail is evident throughout; every line and stroke brings depth and emotion to each character. From the stern yet caring expression on King Alfred's face to the playful antics of his faithful dog at his feet, every element tells its own story within this larger narrative. This monochrome masterpiece not only pays homage to a great king but also celebrates family bonds and shared moments of joy amidst challenging times. It serves as a reminder that even those who bear heavy responsibilities find solace in simple pleasures. As we gaze upon this timeless artwork, we are transported back centuries ago when kings sought refuge from their thrones and found comfort within ordinary dwellings.
