The Royal Poet at the coronation of King Alexander III of Scotland, Scone, 1249
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this color lithograph print, we are transported back in time to witness a momentous event in Scottish history. The scene depicts the coronation of King Alexander III of Scotland at Scone in 1249, and it is brought to life by the talented artist J. R. Skelton. At the center of attention stands a young boy, adorned in regal robes and playing a musical instrument known as a harp. This little poet captures our imagination with his angelic voice as he sings praises for the newly crowned king. His presence adds an air of enchantment to the ceremony, reminding us that art and culture have always played an integral role in royal celebrations. Surrounded by dignitaries and courtiers dressed in their finest attire, King Alexander III sits upon his majestic throne wearing a magnificent crown. The atmosphere is filled with anticipation and reverence as all eyes are fixed on him. This image not only showcases medieval pageantry but also symbolizes continuity and succession within the monarchy. It serves as a reminder that even during turbulent times, such ceremonies were held to ensure stability and unity for the kingdom. Through this remarkable artwork from "Scotland's Story - A History of Scotland for Boys and Girls" by H. E Marshall, we gain insight into both historical events and artistic interpretations from centuries past. It reminds us that history comes alive through artistry like Skelton's work here – capturing moments frozen in time forevermore.
