EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Marriage of Vortigern and Rowena, 5th Century" takes us back in time to witness a momentous event in English history. Created by the English School in the 19th century, this print is part of a series that explores significant moments from England's past. The scene depicts a grand banquet hall filled with nobles and dignitaries gathered to celebrate the union between Vortigern and Rowena. The elaborate buffet tables are adorned with sumptuous dishes, enticing guests to indulge in a feast fit for royalty. As we observe this mealtime spectacle, it becomes evident that dining was not merely sustenance but an opportunity for socializing and displaying opulence. Amidst the festivities, our attention is drawn towards Rowena - an elegant woman exuding grace and femininity. She stands out amongst her female counterparts as she prepares to embark on her new role as queen. This illustration beautifully captures the historical significance of women during this era. The artist skillfully employs black-and-white tones to evoke a sense of nostalgia while emphasizing key details within the composition. Through intricate engravings, they transport us into this pivotal moment where two kingdoms unite through marriage. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are reminded of how art can serve as a window into history - allowing us to immerse ourselves in centuries gone by and appreciate the cultural richness that has shaped our world today.
