EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we witness a powerful moment from the legendary tale of King Arthur and Guinevere. The scene depicts a poignant encounter between the Queen and her husband, as described in Alfred Tennyson's "Juniper" and beautifully illustrated by Gustave Dore. As we gaze upon the image, we see King Arthur halting in his tracks while Guinevere musters every ounce of strength to reach out to him. Her hands tenderly grasp his feet, symbolizing both her deep love for him and her desperate plea for forgiveness. The composition is masterfully captured by Leonard de Selva, showcasing the emotional intensity of this pivotal moment. The intricate details of their expressions convey a multitude of emotions - longing, remorse, and perhaps even hope. This print transports us into the heart-wrenching world of Arthurian legend. It serves as a visual reminder that even great rulers are not immune to human frailty and turmoil within their relationships. Through Tennyson's words brought to life by Dore's artistry, we are reminded that love can be both beautiful and tragic. Displayed prominently in any collection or gallery space, this print invites viewers to delve into the depths of emotion evoked by one of literature's most enduring tales. It is an exquisite piece that captures the essence of love tested against adversity – a timeless narrative that continues to resonate with audiences today.
