Arthur Aubrey Beardsley Edition Iseult Modernism Morte Treats Tristan Malory Up Right
EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting engraving, titled "Iseult treats Tristan," is taken from Sir Thomas Malory's legendary work, "Le Morte d'Arthur," published between 1892 and 1894. The illustration was brought to life by the innovative and visionary artist Aubrey Beardsley, marking a significant contribution to the modernist movement in art. The vertical composition of the image captures the intimate moment between the characters Tristan and Iseult, as they recline in an interior setting. The rich colors of the print add depth and allure to the scene, with Iseult delicately offering a cup to Tristan, her expression one of tender affection. The intricate engraving technique employed by Beardsley showcases his mastery of line and form, creating an otherworldly atmosphere that transports the viewer to the mythical realm of Camelot. The story of Tristan and Iseult is a tragic tale of love and betrayal, as the two were destined to be together but were forbidden by the vows of loyalty to King Mark and Queen Iseult of Cornwall. Their clandestine meetings, such as the one depicted in this engraving, ultimately led to their downfall. Beardsley's interpretation of this classic tale adds a new layer of complexity and intrigue, making it a must-have for any collection of modernist art or Arthurian literature.
