EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Young Owen Appeals to the King" we are transported back to the enchanting world of Arthurian legends. The image, taken from Henry Gilbert's first edition book "Stories of the Knights of the Round Table" published in 1911, beautifully captures a pivotal moment in the tale. The scene depicts Young Owen, also known as Owain or Ywain, pleading before King Arthur himself. With his head bowed and hands clasped together in desperation, Owen's expression reveals his deep longing for justice and recognition. His eyes convey a mixture of determination and vulnerability as he seeks validation from the legendary king. Walter Crane's masterful use of color lithography adds an ethereal quality to this print. The vibrant hues bring life to every detail - from Arthur's majestic throne to Owen's intricately designed armor. Crane skillfully captures both the grandeur and intimacy of this encounter between two iconic characters. As we gaze upon this artwork, we cannot help but be drawn into its narrative power. It serves as a reminder that even heroes face moments of doubt and must appeal for their cause with unwavering conviction. This timeless depiction reminds us that within each knight lies a human soul yearning for acceptance and purpose. This remarkable print is part of a private collection held by Fine Art Finder, preserving an invaluable piece of English literary history for generations to come.
