EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the mysterious and legendary story of Bran's Head, a symbol of protection for Britain. According to myth, the head of Bran the Blessed is said to be buried under the Tower of London, where it watches over and safeguards the land. However, in this image, King Arthur is depicted turning his back on this ancient relic and instead choosing to rely on his loyal knights for strength and guidance.
The juxtaposition between tradition and modernity is striking as Arthur dismisses the power of Bran's Head in favor of human companionship. This decision speaks volumes about Arthur's character - a king who values bravery, loyalty, and camaraderie above all else.
The historical significance of this scene cannot be understated as it delves into England's rich tapestry of myths and legends. The clash between old beliefs and new ideologies adds depth to our understanding of British history and culture.
As we gaze upon this thought-provoking image, we are reminded that sometimes true strength lies not in relics or symbols but in the bonds we forge with those around us. King Arthur may have turned away from Bran's Head, but he will always stand tall alongside his noble knights as they strive to protect their beloved homeland.
