EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph captures a pivotal moment in the Arthurian legend. Lancelot, one of the most renowned knights of the Round Table, emerges from Guenevere's room with an air of secrecy and passion. The illustration is taken from "The Book of Romance" a publication by Longmans Green and Co in 1919. In this scene, we witness the forbidden love between Lancelot and Queen Guenevere unfold. Their illicit affair is at the heart of Arthurian romance, adding complexity to the legendary tale. Lancelot's expression reveals both guilt and desire as he navigates his loyalty to King Arthur while succumbing to his feelings for Guenevere. The artist skillfully portrays this moment using lithography techniques that enhance the dramatic contrast between light and shadow. The monochromatic palette adds a timeless quality to the image, evoking a sense of medieval mystique. "The Book of Romance" holds great significance as it explores various aspects of chivalry, honor, love, and betrayal within Arthurian mythology. This particular print showcases how literature during the early twentieth century continued to be inspired by medieval legends. Displayed in private collections worldwide, this artwork serves as a reminder that even centuries later, tales like these continue to captivate our imagination with their enduring themes and timeless characters.
