 "Hardrada's Landing" By Leon Goodman

 

This lovely Edition of the painting "Hardrada's Landing". The first in a series of 3 Editions of the paintings telling the story of King Hardradas attempted invasion of England in 1066.

 

Captures the moment Harold Hardrada (Pictured centre front) lands in England, prior to the battle of Stamford Bridge in the year 1066. Harold Hardrada invaded Northern England near York then Yarvik with 300 Viking ships. According to the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, the Stamford Bridge was immediately held by a powerful individual Viking who delayed the approaching English; he was finally brought down by a spear from underneath the bridge. This delay gave Harald Hardråde time to form his army in a circle on high ground and let the English approach uphill with their backs to the river. After a stubborn battle with losses on both sides, although particularly bad for the unarmoured Vikings, Harald Hardråde and Earl Tostig both fell.

 

The arrival of Norwegian reinforcements prolonged the battle, but in the end the Norwegian army was decisively defeated. King Harold Godwinson accepted a truce with the surviving Norwegians, including Hardråde's son Olaf and they were allowed to leave after giving pledges not to attack England again. This battle marked the end of full scale invasions of England from Scandinavia, and was the turning point of Viking activity in that area.

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 in the U.S. ( Please check out Ref only; leon-goodman.com ) 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.
