1893 1894 Arthurian Iseult Legend Morgan Shield Tristram Myth
EDITORS COMMENTS
Morgan Le Fay, the enchantress and sorceress of Arthurian legend, bestows a magical shield upon Sir Tristram in this evocative 1894 image. The legendary figure of Morgan Le Fay has long fascinated historians and mythologists alike, with her complex and multifaceted role in the Arthurian saga. In this scene, Morgan Le Fay, depicted as a regal and elegant woman, presents the shield to Sir Tristram, a renowned knight of King Arthur's Round Table. The shield is said to have been enchanted, granting its bearer invulnerability in battle. Morgan Le Fay's motives for giving the shield to Tristram are not clear; some legends suggest she was in love with him, while others claim she sought to protect him from his ultimate fate. The image, created in 1894, captures the romantic and mystical elements of the Arthurian legend, with its lush greenery, ethereal lighting, and intricate details. The painting's historical significance lies in its portrayal of a pivotal moment in the Arthurian saga, one that has captivated the imagination of generations. Morgan Le Fay and Sir Tristram's story is intertwined with that of Iseult, the beautiful and tragic heroine of the legend. Their love triangle and the consequences of their actions have been the subject of countless retellings and adaptations throughout history. This print, with its rich details and evocative imagery, offers a glimpse into the enchanted world of Arthurian legend and the complex relationships that shaped it. Whether used as a decorative piece or as a source of inspiration for creative projects, this print is a must-have for anyone with an interest in history, myth, or the art of the late 19th century.
