EDITORS COMMENTS
In this 15th-century print, we witness a poignant moment between Isolde and Queen Guinevere. The scene depicts Isolde pleading with the queen for protection, as they sit around the legendary Round Table in a medieval setting. Crafted on vellum by the French School, this Roman du Chevalier Tristan artwork is housed in Musee Conde, Chantilly, France. The exquisite details of this manuscript come to life through its illuminated illustrations and intricate Gothic design. Isolde's desperation is palpable as she reaches out to Queen Guinevere, her headdress adding an air of regality to her plea. The princess holds a knife in one hand, symbolizing both vulnerability and determination. As our eyes wander across the image, we notice loaves of white bread laid upon the table - a reminder of sustenance amidst their emotional turmoil. This portrayal offers insight into daily life during that era while also emphasizing food supply as an essential element within Arthurian legends. The Legend of Tristan unfolds before us through this remarkable piece created by the Master of Charles of Maine between 1440-60. It serves as a visual testament to enduring romance and tragic fate intertwined within these timeless tales. Bridgeman Images has expertly captured every nuance and subtlety present in this photograph print from Fine Art Finder. Through it all, we are transported back centuries ago to witness Isolde's heartfelt plea for protection from Queen Guinevere - forever immortal
