Long before the Cross of St George became the flag of England, it was used in Mediaeval images of the Angus Dei, the Lamb of God. These depictions of a lamb holding a flag symbolise the Resurrection of Christ, and his victory over death.
I have drawn on this motif to show the wild boar re-conquering England - a resurrection of sorts after they were hunted to extinction in the Middle Ages. They continue to be vulnerable to over-hunting, but are quietly establishing strongholds all over the country.
A5 size print, mounted to fit a 10” by 8” frame.
This illuminated print is gold-foiled to look and feel like the gold-leafed original.
Limited run of 25, hand-numbered and signed.
