EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating oil on canvas painting, "Vortigern and Rowena" by William Hamilton, transports us back to the 18th century with its grandeur and historical significance. This remarkable artwork measures an impressive 200x150 cm and is held in a private collection. The scene depicted in the painting showcases Vortigern, a powerful Saxon king from the 5th century, seated on the right side of the composition. In the center stands Rowena, daughter of Hengist and ward of Cedric the Saxon. Her bearded appearance adds to her enigmatic allure. Set against an opulent interior backdrop, this image captures a banquet-like atmosphere where royalty gathers around a table adorned with exquisite goblets and cups. The attention to detail is impeccable as every element contributes to creating an ambiance fit for kings and queens. As we observe closely, we notice Rowena kneeling before Vortigern while presenting him with a cup - perhaps symbolizing loyalty or allegiance. The regal crown placed upon Vortigern's head further emphasizes his status as ruler. This historic masterpiece not only showcases Hamilton's exceptional artistic skills but also serves as a window into British history. It offers us glimpses into royal audiences during that era when power dynamics were at play within England's ruling elite. Bridgeman Images has done justice to this magnificent artwork through their print reproduction which allows art enthusiasts worldwide to appreciate its beauty without any commercial intent involved.
