EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts a scene from the unfinished and interrupted tale of "The Squires Tale" from Geoffrey Chaucer's iconic work, "The Canterbury Tales." In this epic romance, the story shifts from the familiar medieval English setting to the distant lands of the Mongol Empire, where the name of Genghis Khan is known as Cambuscan or Cambyuscan. The image showcases a pivotal moment in the narrative as the Knight, who is unarmed and seemingly defeated, encounters Canace, a beautiful and brave woman, and her hawk. The Horse of Brass, a symbol of the Knight's former power and chivalry, stands nearby, its polished armor reflecting the intrigue and mystery that surrounds this unconventional tale. Chaucer's "The Canterbury Tales," written in the 14th century, is renowned for its diverse collection of stories and vivid characterizations. "The Squires Tale," with its unexpected shift to the East, showcases Chaucer's mastery of storytelling and his ability to transport readers to far-off lands and times. Despite being left unfinished, the tale remains a captivating exploration of chivalry, love, and adventure. This print, with its intricate details and evocative imagery, offers a glimpse into the rich world of Chaucer's storytelling and the enduring allure of "The Canterbury Tales.
