Did the events of 16 August 1819 influence Walter Scott’s portrayal of Robin Hood?
The Peterloo Massacre & Walter Scott’s “Ivanhoe” (1819)
William Windus’ “The Outlaw” (1861)
Although taking their inspiration primarily from the medieval period, the Pre-Raphaelites never painted Robin Hood. William Windus’ “The Outlaw”, however, bears a suspicious likeness to Robin Hood.
