Ramillies
2017 Oil on Canvas 600mm x 900mm
Ramillies is a painting based on protection and strength. The figure is calm, mirroring the colour
of the blue cloth. His stance & sword are at ease, the pillar behind reinforcing strength &
solidity. However, storm clouds are on the horizon, and he is aware of impending storm.
“Fidelis per res adversas” is inscribed on the stone behind the figure. This Latin description
means “Faithful through adversity”
