Description

Swansong – The Story Behind the Print

Swansong captures Jaguars flying at low level through the Moffat Valley in the Scottish Borders.

The twisting route from Selkirk along the A708 provided fast-jet crews with demanding terrain in which to practise low-level flying. In Rondot’s painting, the landscape becomes the setting for a “swansong” sortie: a final flight marking a pilot’s farewell to the aircraft.

Michael Rondot draws on his own Jaguar flying experience to capture the speed, terrain and concentration associated with this type of sortie.

The standard edition is artist signed. Artist’s Proofs and Remarque editions carry the four additional named signatures listed above, preserving the distinction between the available variants.
