EDITORS COMMENTS
The Twa Corbies: A Cynical Twist on Death and Despair in Medieval Scotland This hauntingly beautiful print depicts the scene from the traditional Scottish ballad, 'The Twa Corbies' or 'The Two Ravens.' In this poignant and gruesome tale, a brave knight lies dead on the ground, abandoned by his loyal hound and hawk, symbols of his nobility and status. The two corbies, or ravens, perched atop a nearby tree, comment on the tragic turn of events with a cynical and dark sense of humor. The mistress, who had once loved the knight deeply, has already moved on, taking a new lover. The corbies lament the knight's fate, but also relish in the knowledge that they will have an undisturbed meal, as the hound and hawk have abandoned their post. The scene is one of despair and loneliness, as the knight's once vibrant life has been snuffed out, leaving only the cold, unforgiving earth. The ballad, which dates back to the 15th or 16th century, is a poignant reminder of the fleeting nature of life and the inevitability of death. The image of the two corbies, with their beady eyes and sharp beaks, adds a sense of historical authenticity to the tale, transporting us back to a time when life was harsh and unforgiving. The print, with its intricate details and rich colors, is a beautiful and poignant reminder of the human condition and the dark, cynical humor that can sometimes emerge even in the face of tragedy.
