The artwork titled “And Patrick was among several youth that he carried away as prisoners” was created by Charles Robinson in 1909. It belongs to the Art Nouveau (Modern) movement and falls under the genre of illustration. This piece is part of the series “The four champions of Great Britain and Ireland” from 1909.
The artwork depicts a dramatic scene featuring two central figures, a young person and a soldier. The soldier, clad in armor with a helmet and holding a spear, seems to be guiding the young person, who is bound and appears distressed, while another armored figure follows carrying a bag or a burden. The setting conveys an atmosphere of captivity and transportation, with an ominous backdrop of mountains and a serene, yet foreboding, sky. The colors are vivid and the detailing intricate, characteristic of the Art Nouveau style.
