                 "The Viking Invasion of London 851 A.D" by Leon Goodman

 

This stunning painting capturing the invasion of Vikings on London that actually took place in 851 A.D. A massive invasion force of 350 Viking long ships sailed down the River Thames to attack Anglo Saxon London or Lundenwic!!! Lundenwic at the time was controlled by West Saxons to the south of the Thames and the Saxon Mercians who controlled the North Bank of the River!
 
The Vikings were fought off by the Saxons but they attacked again under Sweyn Forkbeard again unsuccessfully in 996 and 1013, but his son Cnut the Great finally gained control of London, and all of England, in 1016!!!
 
England's history with Vikings runs deep!!! The Vikings actually controlled half of England with the Danelaw so all Northern place names are Viking! Many Northern English Folk have SON on the end of their surnames like PatterSON like Scandinavian people!!! The English language has many Viking words and Northern English folk to this day don't say "The" before words which is the same as the Norwegian/Swedish/Danish language!!!!! Southern English folk would say today for example - "in THE Kitchen" more like modern German so "in DER Küche". A Northern English person would say today "in Kitchen" like Norwegian "i  Kjøkkenet"
 
Vikings also lay claim to most of the thrones of modern Europe as King of England William the Conqueror (a Norman Viking) was descended from Rollo a Norwegian Viking who was so large they called him Rollo "The Walker" as no horse was big enough to carry him!!! Our modern Royal Family are blood descended from Rollo and therefore so are most of Europe's Monarchs and Ruling Families!!!!!

 Leon Goodman has been a professional artist for the majority of his working life. His work has been sold at The Omell Gallery, Ascot, as well as Christies, the fine art auction house in London. Many of his works have sold for thousands of pounds to the U.S.A. Since seeing his work, Risborough Art Gallery have made him a regularly featured artist. Leon’s philosophy is that it is not the delineation of the subject which is important, but its fragmentation. He believes a strictly photographic image does not allow the viewer to participate in the painting. If the image is fragmented, the viewer can imagine for himself the missing parts and involve himself in the creation of the whole image. The viewer has seen his own interpretation of the fragmented images; the next viewer may see something different.
