"Alexander III: The Fall" is a captivating photographic still life art print that artistically narrates the tragic event of Scottish monarch Alexander III's fatal fall off a cliff in Kinghorn, which subsequently plunged the country into turmoil. "Alexander III: The Fall" artfully weaves together symbolism, history, and emotion to tell a captivating story of a significant event in Scottish history. Through the interplay of the floating playing card, chessboard, horse, floating rocks, and moonlight, the artwork invites viewers to delve into the complex political landscape of the time, ultimately leading to the wars of independence.
