EDITORS COMMENTS

Created by Arthur Hacker in the early 20th century, this exceptional sepia reproduction captures the essence of a pivotal moment in Sir Percival's story. In this enchanting illustration, we witness Sir Percival, adorned in magnificent plate armor, standing at a crossroads. His sword gleams with power and purpose as he faces an alluring woman who represents temptation itself. The intricate details of his armor and weaponry showcase both strength and vulnerability, symbolizing the internal struggle between duty and desire. The composition expertly combines elements from medieval legends with artistic flair. The black-and-white palette adds depth to the scene while emphasizing its timelessness. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported into a mythic realm where honor clashes with temptation. "The Temptation of Sir Percival" not only showcases Hacker's artistic prowess but also pays homage to C Herbert Letts' compilation "Examples of Great Artists".
