Edith the Fair Discovers the Body of King Harold on the Battlefield of Hastings, 1066
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this powerful engraving by Alphonse Marie de Neuville, we witness a poignant moment in history. Edith the Fair, known as Edith Swanneck, stands amidst the chaos and devastation of the battlefield at Hastings. Her sorrowful gaze falls upon the lifeless body of King Harold Godwinson, who lies motionless before her. The scene captures a pivotal event in English history - the Battle of Hastings in 1066. The image portrays not only grief but also a sense of despair and loss that permeated through England during this tumultuous time. As an illustration for "Weltgeschichte Fur Das Volk" a historical publication by Otto von Corvin and Wilhelm Held, this print serves as a visual representation of one woman's profound discovery amidst war and tragedy. Edith's presence symbolizes more than just mourning; she represents loyalty to her king and country. Her anguish is palpable as she witnesses firsthand the consequences of battle and its impact on those left behind. Through this artwork, we are transported back to medieval England - a time when monarchy reigned supreme and kingdoms were won or lost on blood-soaked fields. It reminds us that even in moments of great triumph or defeat, there are individuals like Edith whose lives are forever changed by events beyond their control. This engraving is not merely an artistic depiction; it is an invitation to reflect upon our shared human experience – one marked by both joyous victories and heart-wrenching losses throughout history.
