EDITORS COMMENTS
The Story of Sir Pellias, captured in this mesmerizing print from The Story of King Arthur and his Knights, transports us to the enchanting realm of Arthurian legend. Painted by the renowned artist Howard Pyle in 1903, this lithograph beautifully depicts a poignant moment filled with unrequited love and melancholy. In this scene, we witness Sir Pellias, a valiant knight of the Round Table, standing at the edge of a serene lake. His lance rests against his side as he gazes into the distance with an expression that reveals his inner turmoil. It is said that Sir Pellias was hopelessly infatuated with a lady who did not return his affections—a tale as old as time. The Brandywine School's distinctive artistic style shines through in every brushstroke, capturing both the medieval atmosphere and mythical essence surrounding Sir Pellias' story. The attention to detail is remarkable; from the intricate engravings on his armor to the majestic horse by his side—every element adds depth and emotion to this illustration. As we admire this timeless piece, we are reminded of how literature has shaped our understanding of myth and folklore throughout history. This print serves as a testament to Pyle's talent for bringing these legendary tales to life while evoking empathy for characters like Sir Pellias who experience heartache amidst their noble quests.
