EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "On the Way to the Green Chapel" takes us back to the enchanting world of Arthurian legend. Created by Charles Henry Hanson in 1882, it is a print from his book "Stories of the Days of King Arthur". The image showcases Gustave Doré's remarkable illustrative skills, as he brings this mythical tale to life. In this scene, we witness Sir Gawaine, one of the noble Knights of the Round Table and nephew to King Arthur himself. Mounted on his majestic steed, Gawaine traverses a rugged and rocky landscape towards an ancient chapel shrouded in mystery. With axe in hand and sword at his side, he embarks on a perilous journey to confront the legendary Green Knight. The intricate details captured by Doré transport us into this fantastical realm where myths intertwine with reality. The ruins surrounding the chapel hint at its long-forgotten history while adding an air of desolation to the scene. As Gawaine rides through these treacherous terrains, we can almost feel his determination and bravery resonating from within. "On the Way to the Green Chapel" not only serves as a visual delight but also evokes our imagination about chivalry and honor that defined knights like Sir Gawaine during King Arthur's reign. This historical artwork is part of Heritage Images' Historica Graphica Collection - a treasure trove for art enthusiasts seeking glimpses into past eras filled with legends and tales
