EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the engraving of "Robert the Devyll" by an anonymous English artist from the 15th century. The artwork, now part of a private collection, is a remarkable illustration for Romances of Chivalry told and illustrated in facsimile by John Ashton. This digitally cleaned image allows us to appreciate the intricate details and symbolism within. The engraving depicts Robert the Devyll, a character deeply entwined with notions of evil and chivalry during the Middle Ages. In this scene, we witness a naked knight lying on a bed alongside his female counterpart. Their intimate embrace suggests both passion and temptation as they navigate their way through this chivalric romance. The composition cleverly juxtaposes elements associated with good and evil. On one hand, we have knights representing honor and virtue; on the other hand, devils lurk around them symbolizing temptation and sin. This duality adds depth to our understanding of medieval concepts surrounding love, lust, and morality. Notably intriguing are the intricately designed beds depicted in this artwork – symbolic spaces where desires are explored or restrained within societal norms. Overall, this enchanting print invites viewers into an evocative world filled with complex emotions and moral dilemmas that were prevalent during medieval times. It serves as a visual reminder of how art can capture timeless themes that continue to resonate with audiences today.
