EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving by A. Closs, titled "Wedding of Lohengrin and Elsa, Daughter of the Duke of Brabant," transports us back to the 19th century and the rich tapestry of European Arthurian legend. The scene depicts the moment of betrothal between the enigmatic knight Lohengrin and the beautiful Elsa, the duchess of Brabant. The knight, clad in shining armor and mounted on a magnificent white horse, presents a radiant bouquet to his beloved. Elsa, dressed in a resplendent gown, gazes at him with a mixture of wonder and adoration. The festive atmosphere of the wedding is further accentuated by the presence of musicians playing a harp and a flute, as well as a joyful dog joining in the celebration. The scene is filled with a sense of holy awe, as Lohengrin is said to have arrived at Elsa's castle on a swan sent by the Holy Grail, adding an air of the miraculous to the proceedings. This engraving, published in the German magazine "Germania" in 1882, offers a glimpse into the romantic and magical world of Arthurian legend. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring the story to life, transporting us to a time when knights, ladies, and legends were the stuff of dreams. The image is a testament to the enduring power of storytelling and the beauty of the past.
