EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration by Howard Pyle transports us into the enchanting world of Arthurian legend. Taken from his renowned work "The story of the champions of the round table" published in 1903, this print depicts a pivotal moment in the tale - la dame du Lac carrying off Lancelot as a child. Pyle's intricate engraving skillfully captures the essence of this mythical scene. The knightly figure of Lancelot is cradled tenderly by the Lady of the Lake, her ethereal beauty contrasting with his innocence. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke, from their flowing garments to their expressive faces. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported back to an era steeped in chivalry and magic. It evokes a sense of wonder and curiosity about these legendary characters that have captivated audiences for centuries. The image invites us to delve deeper into Arthurian literature, where knights embark on noble quests and fairies weave spells under moonlit lakes. Through Pyle's masterful portrayal, we witness not only a kidnapping but also a symbolic passing from childhood to destiny. This illustration serves as a visual gateway into an imaginary realm where honor and adventure intertwine. Preserved within private collections today, this piece stands as a testament to Pyle's artistic prowess and his contribution to bringing Arthurian legends alive through art. Its timeless appeal continues to inspire both young and old alike, reminding us why these tales endure throughout generations.
