Fingal vindt Conban-Cargla 1746 - 1785

"Fingal Finds Conban-Cargla" is an etching by Alexander Runciman, dating from 1746-1785. The artwork depicts a scene from the Scottish epic poem *Ossian*, in which the warrior Fingal finds the giantess Conban-Cargla. The etching features strong lines and dramatic contrasts of light and shadow, which was a characteristic of Runciman's style. This artwork, like many of Runciman's, was heavily influenced by the neoclassical style and is considered to be a significant example of Scottish Romanticism, emphasizing the mystical and dramatic elements in the story of Fingal.
