Scottish Military art of the
History of the Jacobite Rebellion led by Charles
Edward Stuart better known as Bonnie Prince Charlie in Scottish historical
art prints by military artist Mark Churms. Mark Churms lived in Scotland
for 6 years and in this time produced a series of four Jacobite paintings
depicting the four major events of the uprising.
Battle of Culloden by Mark Churms.
Icy rain adds its misery to the bitter conflict on Drumossie Moor. In the shadow of the Black Isle, two English ships on the waters of the Moray Firth, await the outcome of the decisive battle. Pounded by Cumberlands gunners and raked by steady musketry, the Princes brave men can make no headway. Although the Irish and French regulars refuse to give ground, the Jacobite lines gradually disintegrate. Tired, cold and hungry men flea past Culloden House for the relative safety of Inverness. On the Scottish right the Argyll Militia, supported by Hawleys Dragoons, tear down the walls of the Culwiniac and Culchunaig enclosures in an outflanking attack. Avochies men offer some resistance but Major Gillies McBean stands alone on the breach. He cuts down more than a dozen Argylls, including Lord Robert Kerr, who lies mortally wounded, but his foes are too many. The hero eventually falls to a vicious cut to the forehead, his thigh bone is also broken. Despite the cries of a mounted officer to s.........
After the unsuccessful march on London, Prince Charlie retreats to the safety of Scotland. The army regroups and more men come to join the cause, including soldiers from France. However King Georges men are never far away. As dark, winter rain clouds draw in over the high ground above the town of Falkirk, the Jacobite army assembles to face Hang-man Hawleys dragoons and infantry. A piper plays on while the men of Ogilvys Regiment, in the second line, load and make ready their weapons for the coming assault. Bonnie Prince Charlie (so called for his nature, not his looks) rides down the ranks followed by Lord Elcho and his Life Guards. Red coated Irish Pickets, regulars from France, are also in reserve.

DHM0254. Battle of Culloden by Mark Churms. Icy rain adds its misery to the bitter
conflict on Drumossie Moor. In the shadow of the Black Isle, two English ships
on the waters of the Moray Firth, await the outcome of the decisive battle.
Pounded by Cumberlands gunners and raked by steady musketry, the Prince's brave
men can make no headway. Although the Irish and French regulars refuse to give
ground, the Jacobite lines gradually disintegrate. Tired, cold and hungry men
flea past Culloden House for the relative safety of Inverness. On the Scottish
right the Argyll Militia, supported by Hawley's Dragoons, tear down the walls of
the Culwiniac and Culchunaig enclosures in an outflanking attack. Avochie's men
offer some resistance but Major Gillies McBean stands alone on the breach. He
cuts down more than a dozen Argylls, including Lord Robert Kerr, who lies
mortally wounded, but his foes are too many. The hero eventually falls to a
vicious cut to the forehead, his thigh bone is also broken. Despite the cries of
a mounted officer to "save that brave man", the major is ruthlessly
bayonetted, his back against the wall. The victory is complete and nothing more
can be done. In the distance, the "Young Pretender" is forced to
abandon the field and Scotland's hope of claiming the British Throne.
David Dipnals evocative images of the restful idyllic scenes of southern England are well known, epitomising, as they have for years, all that is endearing about traditional English landscapes. His well known images of his beautiful and fertile homeland are a world away from Australia, where he now spends most of his time. In the last decade, David Dipnall estimates that he has travelled nearly 2 million miles, continuing to maintain a busy work schedule of exhibitions and regularly commuting between England and Australia. His originals are highly sought after, and over fifty of his images have been published as limited edition prints, many of which have sold out. Always a traveller, he believes in the philosophy that absence makes the heart grow fonder, and his beautifully detailed traditional English landscapes are definitely painted from the heart.
