EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Queen Morgana loses Excalibur his sheath" takes us back to the enchanting world of Arthurian legend. Created by Howard Pyle in 1903, this lithograph beautifully captures a pivotal moment in the story of King Arthur and his Knights. In this scene, we witness Queen Morgana, the half-sister of King Arthur and a powerful witch, standing at the edge of a mystical lake. With an expression filled with determination and malice, she holds Excalibur's sheath firmly in her hand. The scabbard that once protected the legendary sword is now being discarded by its treacherous owner. Morgana's action symbolizes her role as an antagonist - an adversary who seeks to undermine King Arthur's reign and bring chaos to Camelot. As Lady of the Lake, Morgana possesses immense magical abilities that make her a formidable nemesis for our hero. The intricate details in Pyle's engraving showcase elements from medieval mythology and folklore associated with Morgan le Fay - another name for Queen Morgana. The Brandywine School artist skillfully depicts both her strength and beauty through delicate lines and shading. This evocative artwork transports us into a world where good battles evil, where legends are born, and where characters like Queen Morgana leave an indelible mark on literature. It serves as a reminder that even within darkness lies great artistry waiting to be discovered.
