| MC0009. Battle of Issus 333 B.C. by Mark Churms.
Alexander the Great and Greek Companion cavalry ride into battle to
defeat Persian king Darius at the battle of Issus, 333B.C. Alexander
established a huge empire across much of the known world before his
early death in 323B.C. MC0012. The Eagle Attacks! by Mark Churms.
Roman Aquilifer 55BC. Brave standard bearer from Julius Caesar's Legions, leads the
Republic of Rome's armies, as he wades ashore to face an army of
fearsome Ancient Britons! Mark was born
in Wales in 1967. He gained his degree in Architectural Studies at Oxford
Polytechnic in 1989, but soon his interest in drawing buildings was surpassed
by his love of painting horses and in 1991 he began work as a freelance
artist. His first commissions were for sporting subjects, Polo, Racing and
Hunting. However his consuming passion for military history, particularly of
the Napoleonic era, quickly became his dominant theme, with the invaluable
counsel of French military experts (accuracy in uniform and terrain of the
various battles takes a great deal of time and consultation with many experts
across Europe). Mark Churms joined Cranston Fine Arts in 1991 and for a period
of 8 years, was commissioned for several series and special commissions. His
series of the Zulu War, and of the Battle of Waterloo were the highlights
during this period. Mark Churms' deep understanding and detailed knowledge of
the period made Mark at that time one of the most prolific and successfull
artists for Cranston Fine Arts. Cranston Fine Arts are proud with their series
of superb art prints and original paintings painted by Mark Churms in this
period. We now offer Mark Churms art prints in special 2 and 4 print packs
