EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Morgan le Fays Treason" transports viewers into the enchanting world of Arthurian legend. Created by renowned illustrator Arthur Rackham in 1910, it is a part of Alfred W. Pollard's book, "The Romance of King Arthur and His Knights of the Round Table". In this scene, we witness the vengeful sorceress Morgan le Fay plotting her revenge against her half-brother, King Arthur. Fueled by anger and hate after he killed her lover in battle, she cunningly attempts to steal his powerful sword Excalibur but fails. Undeterred, she seizes his scabbard instead and hurls it into a mystical lake. Rackham's intricate details bring this moment to life as we see Morgan le Fay standing over the sleeping king with an expression filled with rage and bitterness. The image captures the intensity of her emotions as she seeks retribution for her lost love. The artist skillfully portrays Morgan le Fay as a complex character - both innocent-looking while resting but also harboring deep-seated hatred within. This juxtaposition adds depth to her portrayal as one of literature's most intriguing witches. Through this stunning artwork, Rackham invites us to delve deeper into the themes of betrayal and vengeance that permeate throughout Arthurian legends. It serves as a reminder that even within fantastical tales lies profound human emotion and complexity.
