EDITORS COMMENTS
This steel engraving, created in 1867 by Gustave Doré after Alfred Tennyson's "Guinevere" from The Idylls of the King, transports us to a realm of medieval romance and chivalry. In this exquisite print titled "The Parting of Lancelot and Guinevere" we witness a poignant moment between two legendary figures. Set against a backdrop of lush woodlands, Queen Guinevere sits atop her majestic steed, emanating regal grace as she prepares to bid farewell to her beloved knight, Sir Lancelot. With her flowing gown and elegant posture, she embodies both strength and vulnerability. Lancelot stands before her on his own noble horse, his armor gleaming in the dappled sunlight that filters through the forest canopy. Their parting is filled with unspoken emotions – love tinged with sorrow and duty intertwined with desire. It is an image that captures the complexities of their forbidden love affair within Arthurian legend. Doré's masterful illustration skillfully brings Tennyson's poetic vision to life. Every line etched into the steel plate exudes intricate detail and evokes a sense of timelessness. This print serves as a visual testament to the enduring power of literature and art in capturing human emotions across centuries. As we gaze upon this enchanting scene, we are reminded once again why these timeless tales continue to captivate our hearts – for they speak not only of knights and queens but also explore
