Born in Johannesburg, Gail van Lingen is a passionate artist with deep roots in South Africa.
The four Anglo Zulu War prints making up this limited edition have been selected from a collection of original oil canvases the Times Media Group commissioned internationally renowned artist, Gail van Lingen, to paint. They were published by Jonathan Ball Publishing with Times Media in 1991 in a book entitled " Battlefields of South Africa."
Executing the commission took five years and involved numerous visits to the scenes of battle to absorb the atmosphere and mood of the sites. To commune with the ghosts of the fallen warriors as it were. The paintings are, therefore, the artist's interpretation of the febrile nature of the battles, rather than literal historical snapshots. Now, for the first time, in prints measuring 60cm X 42cm, this unique collection is being offered to art collectors around the world.
The edition is being strictly limited to 500 sets, personally numbered and signed by Gail van Lingen. Please click here to order via our secure on-line shop.
