King Alfred the Great Turns the Danes Out of London in 884 AD (chromolitho)
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This chromolithograph captures a pivotal moment in history when King Alfred the Great, a revered figure in English history, successfully expelled the Danish invaders from London in 884 AD. The artwork, created by an unknown European School artist during the late 19th or early 20th century, showcases a dramatic scene filled with battles and bravery. In this detailed print, we witness King Alfred leading his Saxon army against the formidable Danish forces. Clad in traditional plate armor and armed with swords and shields, these soldiers display unwavering determination as they defend their city's foundations. The fortress walls stand tall behind them, symbolizing both protection and resistance. The composition expertly highlights various elements that make this event historically significant. A bishop can be seen offering prayers for victory while danger looms on all sides. The river Thames flows majestically nearby, reminding us of London's strategic importance as a trading hub. This artwork not only celebrates King Alfred's triumph but also pays homage to Germanic culture and its influence on England's past. It serves as a reminder of how historical events shape our present-day societies. Displayed proudly within private collections worldwide, this stunning piece offers viewers an opportunity to immerse themselves in one of England's most important episodes - where courage prevailed over adversity and laid the foundation for future cities' growth and prosperity.
