A Covenanter Wedding

[RamistThomist]

There is a painting of covenanters assembling for a wedding. In front of the groom on the ground is a claymore and a rifle. In the background you see Republican--er, English troops riding to arrest these wedding-ers. I can't find the painting, if any knows the name of it.

It is The Covenanters Marriage painted by Alex Johnston. There is an engraving of this by E. Lightfoot. The engraving has a notation "The Picture in Possesion of the Publisher."

The original is, I think, hanging in the St Mungo Museum of Religious Life and Art in Glasgow, Scotland. An engraving happens to be available for sale on Ebay currently.

Someone picked it up on the $24 buy now link. My wife searched for years to find it and probably paid more for it.

I didn't pick up that copy but found another copy on Ebay for $15.00. It came in the mail two days ago and we are very pleased. Great picture.
