Historical Warrior Illustration Series Part XXXIV

Graham Turner

I try to do my best to make sure that these art pieces match with this particular artist.  If someone notices a mistake please let me know and I’ll correct it.  That being said I also would like to continue to improve these artists collections by continuing to add more good quality images to these posts.  So if you have found any images that you think I should add feel free to let me know.

I stumbled upon Ivan Lapper while researching another artist.  It usually works that way.  Many of these good images came from heritage sites which allowed me to compile some of these great works here for future reference.

Pilgrimage

This film is simple and good when it comes to a medieval period piece.  Being shot partially on the West Coast of Ireland, and the use of multiple languages, give this story a realism that many other bigger budget films often lack.  As with many movies in this genre that often have little marketing it was unknown to me until I accidentally stumbled upon it recently.  I look forward to more straight forward historical dramas like this in cinema.
