EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite "Quest for the Holy Grail Tapestries - Panel 3 - The Failure of Sir Gawaine" by Edward Coley Burne-Jones. Created in 1895-96, this textile masterpiece is a collaboration between renowned designers Sir Edward Burne-Jones, William Morris, and John Henry Dearle. In this particular panel, we witness the dramatic scene where Sir Gawaine and Sir Uwaine find themselves at a ruined chapel during their quest. Bathed in moonlight, they stand tall in their armor as they confront their failure to achieve their noble mission. The image beautifully captures the essence of Arthurian legend with its depiction of King Arthur's Round Table and knights adorned in shining armor. The Pre-Raphaelite style employed by Burne-Jones adds an ethereal quality to the artwork, enhancing its mythical allure. Notably, horses play a significant role in this composition. A majestic steed stands beside each knight, symbolizing strength and loyalty amidst adversity. These animals add a touch of wildlife to the scene while also representing farm animals commonly associated with medieval times. Displayed at Birmingham Museums and Art Gallery, this print transports viewers back to an era steeped in chivalry and honor. It serves as a reminder that even great heroes like Sir Gawaine can experience setbacks on their quests for greatness.
