Elaine - The Dead Steer d by the Dumb Went Upward with the Flood - A Captivating Tale of Tragic Love
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This mesmerizing print captures a poignant moment from Arthurian legend, as depicted in Briton Riviere's masterpiece "Elaine - The Dead Steer d by the Dumb Went Upward with the Flood". Inspired by Alfred Lord Tennyson's poem "The Lady of Shalott" this artwork transports us to a world where love and destiny collide. In this scene, we witness Elaine of Astolat, also known as Elaine le Blank or the Lady of Shalott, caught in an eternal struggle between her unrequited love for Sir Lancelot and her tragic fate. Riviere skillfully portrays Elaine's heart-wrenching sacrifice through his masterful brushstrokes and attention to detail. As we gaze upon this evocative image, we are drawn into Elaine's emotional turmoil. Her delicate figure is draped over a lifeless steer that floats amidst swirling waters—a metaphorical representation of her own drowning emotions. The ethereal light illuminates her face, reflecting both sorrow and determination. Riviere's composition invites contemplation on themes such as unattainable love, sacrifice, and the inevitability of fate. It serves as a powerful reminder that sometimes our deepest desires can lead us down treacherous paths. This print from Fine Art Finder allows us to bring home not only an exquisite piece of art
