EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the era of the mighty Vikings. The image showcases a remarkable Saxon ship, as depicted in an engraving from Strutt's Chronicle of England. Its intricate details and craftsmanship are truly awe-inspiring, transporting us to a bygone age of exploration and conquest. The Saxon ship stands proudly on calm waters, its longboat structure exuding strength and resilience. It serves as a testament to the seafaring prowess of these ancient warriors who fearlessly sailed across treacherous seas in search of new lands and riches. Adjacent to this magnificent vessel, we see another intriguing element - a wine press engraving. This juxtaposition hints at the multifaceted nature of Viking life beyond their reputation for plundering. It reminds us that they were also skilled cultivators, embracing agriculture with vineyards yielding grapes for winemaking. Through this evocative composition captured by an unknown English School artist during the 19th century, we are transported into an era where history intertwines with myth and legend. Bridgeman Images has preserved this historical gem within their private collection, allowing us to appreciate the artistry involved in depicting such pivotal moments from our past. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing print, let our imaginations soar alongside those intrepid Vikings who once roamed these very shores centuries ago – forever immortalized through art's enduring power.
