"Boudiccea"

A Fantasy Faery Art Print
by Jessica Galbreth

A Signed and Numbered Limited Edition

Boudiccea, also called Boudica and Boadicea, was the long forgotten Warrior Queen of the Celtic Iceni people of Norfolk in Eastern Britain, who led a major uprising of the tribes against the occupying forces of the Roman Empire. It was in the Victorian era that Boudica's fame took on legendary proportions. Queen Victoria was seen as her "namesake". Victoria's Poet Laureate, Alfred, Lord Tennyson, wrote a poem, Boadicea. A great bronze statue of Boudica in her war chariot (furnished with scythes after Persian fashion), together with her daughters, was commissioned by Prince Albert and executed by Thomas Thornycroft. This incarnation by Fantasy artist Jessica Galbreth shows the feminine faery side of the queen, her long, deep red hair is matched by her garment, and her beauty is set off by her Celtic tattoos. She carries her scepter of power, and is set against the afternoon sun.
