EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of both strength and vulnerability from the renowned Arthurian legend, "Idylls of the King" by Alfred Tennyson. Illustrated by Eleanor Fortescue-Brickdale in 1910, this colour lithograph depicts a pivotal scene where Elaine, one of the key characters in the poem, ascends her tower to claim a shield. The image showcases an enchanting medieval castle backdrop as Elaine runs towards her destiny. Her determination is palpable as she seizes the shield that will forever change her fate. The castle complex itself exudes an air of romance and mystery, transporting viewers into a world steeped in myth and legend. Fortescue-Brickdale's attention to detail brings this fairy tale castle to life with its intricate architecture and delicate embellishments. The small size of the castle adds to its charm while emphasizing Elaine's isolation within its walls. As we gaze upon this illustration, we are transported back in time to witness a defining moment for our heroine. This print serves as a reminder that even within fantasy realms, there are stories that resonate deeply with our own human experiences - tales of love, sacrifice, and personal growth. Eleanor Fortescue-Brickdale's masterful interpretation breathes new life into Tennyson's words. Through this artwork, we can feel Elaine's longing for adventure and escape from her confined existence. It invites us to delve deeper into Arthurian legends and explore their timeless allure.
