EDITORS COMMENTS
In this illustration from "The Story of the Champions of the Round Table". Queen Morgana emerges as a powerful and enigmatic figure, appearing unto Sir Launcelot. The lithograph, created by Howard Pyle, showcases his mastery in capturing the essence of Arthurian legend. Queen Morgana's presence is both alluring and foreboding, as she stands before Sir Launcelot with an air of mystery. As a sorceress and antagonist in Arthurian mythology, her trickery and cunning are legendary. In this moment frozen in time, we witness her using her magical abilities to deceive one of the noble knights. Sir Launcelot himself is depicted as a brave knight from the round table, known for his valor and loyalty to King Arthur. However, even he falls victim to Queen Morgana's enchantment. This engraving beautifully captures their encounter - a clash between male strength and female magic. The Brandywine School's distinct style shines through in this print – its attention to detail brings each character to life while maintaining an ethereal quality that adds depth to the scene. The use of light and shadow further enhances the atmosphere surrounding these mythical figures. This artwork serves as a reminder that even heroes can be deceived by those they least expect. It invites us into a world where legends come alive through artistry – where good battles evil amidst medieval landscapes steeped in mythological lore.
