King Alfred Welcomes the Family of Hastings - A Glimpse into Wessex's Royal Court
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This engraving, created by an anonymous English artist in the 19th century, offers a rare glimpse into a significant historical moment - King Alfred receiving the family of Hastings. The artwork, part of a private collection and preserved by Look and Learn / Elgar Collection, showcases the iconic King Alfred during his reign as the ruler of Wessex from 871 to 899. In this regal portrait, we witness King Alfred adorned in majestic fur and wearing a crown that symbolizes his authority over the West Saxons. His dignified presence exudes power and grace as he receives members of the esteemed Hastings family. This meeting holds great significance for both parties involved; it represents diplomacy between kingdoms during a time when alliances were crucial for survival. The intricate engravings beautifully capture every detail - from King Alfred's royal collar to each member of the visiting family. Through this artwork, we are transported back in time to witness an important chapter in Anglo-Saxon history. As we admire this piece, let us reflect on its historical value and appreciate how it sheds light on not only England's monarchy but also on European culture at large. It serves as a reminder that even centuries later, these stories continue to captivate our imaginations and connect us with our shared pasts.
