"News of Flodden" is a notable painting by the Scottish artist William Brassey Hole, created in the late 19th century. Hole, who was born in 1846 and died in 1917, was a multifaceted artist known for his historical and religious works, as well as his contributions to book illustrations and murals. "News of Flodden" is one of his most recognized pieces, capturing a poignant moment in Scottish history.

The painting depicts the aftermath of the Battle of Flodden, a significant conflict fought on September 9, 1513, between the Kingdom of Scotland and the Kingdom of England. The battle resulted in a devastating defeat for the Scots, with the death of King James IV and many of his nobles. Hole's work focuses on the emotional impact of the news of this defeat reaching the Scottish people, particularly the women who are shown reacting to the loss of their loved ones.

In "News of Flodden," Hole employs a dramatic and evocative style to convey the grief and despair felt by the Scottish populace. The composition is carefully arranged to highlight the emotional intensity of the scene, with a central figure often interpreted as a widow or a mother, her face etched with sorrow. The use of light and shadow in the painting enhances the somber mood, drawing the viewer's attention to the expressions and body language of the figures.

Hole's attention to historical detail and his ability to capture the human experience make "News of Flodden" a powerful and enduring work. It stands as a testament to his skill as an artist and his deep understanding of Scottish history and culture. The painting remains an important piece in the study of 19th-century Scottish art, reflecting the national sentiment and the collective memory of a pivotal event in Scotland's past.
