EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a bronze statue of King Arthur, believed to have been created in the 16th century. The mythical king, who some claim was born in the 5th century AD, is depicted here in his regal attire and suit of armor. Standing tall with a shield and helmet in hand, he exudes an air of power and authority. The origins of King Arthur remain shrouded in mystery, but according to certain theories, he may have been a leader of Silures – an ancient British region encompassing parts of present-day Monmouth, Brecon, and Glamorgan in Wales. This illustration from "The Worlds History" by Dr H. F. Helmolt offers us a glimpse into the legendary figure's portrayal during medieval times. The monochrome aesthetic adds a touch of timelessness to this image while emphasizing its historical significance. As we gaze upon this portrait, we are transported back to the sixteenth century when tales of chivalry and heroism were celebrated. Created by an unknown artist but preserved through the ages by Peter Vischer the Elder and HF Helmolt's work on documenting mankind's history, this print allows us to appreciate both artistry and heritage simultaneously. It serves as a reminder that even centuries later, King Arthur continues to captivate our imagination with his mythological legacy as one of Britain's most iconic figures from the Middle Ages.
