Full Story Behind The Painting:

Painted in 1917, "The Passing of Robin Hood" by N.C. Wyeth is a captivating portrayal of the final moments of the legendary English folk hero, Robin Hood. This artwork is part of Wyeth's illustrations for the classic tale of Robin Hood, capturing the essence of bravery, loyalty, and the end of an era.

The Story Behind "The Passing of Robin Hood":
"The Passing of Robin Hood" is inspired by the climactic end of the Robin Hood legend, where the hero, gravely wounded and realizing his end is near, shoots one last arrow and asks to be buried where it lands. Leaning heavily on Little John, Robin Hood's final act symbolizes his enduring spirit and the bond with his loyal companions. Wyeth's painting vividly brings this poignant moment to life, highlighting the dramatic and emotional farewell of the beloved outlaw​​.

Hidden Details:
Wyeth's masterful use of color and composition is evident in this painting. The somber tones and the intricate details of the characters' expressions and attire add depth to the scene. The background, filled with the dense greenery of Sherwood Forest, contrasts with the pale, weakened figure of Robin Hood, emphasizing his fading life force. Little John's supportive presence, with his sorrowful yet resolute demeanor, underscores the themes of friendship and loyalty that are central to the Robin Hood saga​​.

Why It Matters:
This painting is significant not only for its artistic quality but also for its cultural and historical impact. N.C. Wyeth, a prominent American illustrator, brought a unique romanticism to his works, making the legendary tales accessible and visually compelling to a wide audience. "The Passing of Robin Hood" serves as a timeless tribute to the enduring legend of Robin Hood, celebrating themes of justice, camaraderie, and heroism that continue to resonate today​.

Where to See It:
"The Passing of Robin Hood" is part of the extensive collection of N.C. Wyeth's works that have been exhibited in various galleries and museums. The painting is currently housed at the Brandywine River Museum of Art, which holds a significant collection of Wyeth's art, offering a comprehensive look at his contributions to American illustration and storytelling.

The Siege of Nottingham

830 years ago 25 March 1194, Richard I, the Lionheart, laid siege to Nottingham Castle. Following his absence on crusade and his capture and ransom the king was intent on restoring his authority over England. He directed the full force of his military resources against this formidable stronghold held in the name of his rebel brother Prince John.

Richard I had been crowned King of England at Westminster on 3rd September 1189 five years before. Richard’s dominating passion was to embark on crusade. To do that he needed three things.

1 money lots of it and Richards tax collectors are already hard at work squeezing every penny they could from the people of England. The king is supposed to have said at the time he would sell London if he could find a buyer.

2 He needed peace with the French king, Richard had secured that even before his coronation when he met King Philip at Gisors.

3 finally he needed security at home. To get that he needed to deal with his 22 year old brother, John. In an attempt to buy the loyalty of John this troublesome brother was given six entire counties including Nottinghamshire. Thereafter until 1194 and the Kings return these counties made no returns of revenue to the crown but only to John. Territorially John was in a position of enormous power. The attempt to buy off John failed!

John had seized Nottingham Castle after his brother had departed on crusade. By 1192 John was in open rebellion when news came that the returning King had fallen into the hands of his enemy the Duke of Austria. He was only released after the payment of a vast ransom and concessions of of land in Normandy to King Philip.

By the time Richard reached England on 13th March 1194 much of the rebellion raised by his brother John had been suppressed but the royal castle at Nottingham remained in rebel hands. Richard was determined to reduce it to his obedience as soon as possible when he arrived in Nottingham an the 25th March 1194.
