EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "How Queen Guenever made her a nun" is an illustration from the renowned novel Le Morte d Arthur by Sir Thomas Malory. Created in 1893-94 by the talented artist Aubrey Beardsley, this print showcases his unique style influenced by Japanese woodcuts. Beardsley's distinctive use of bold lines and contrasting dark tones creates a stark and striking aesthetic that perfectly complements the story of King Arthur and Queen Guinevere. The monochromatic composition adds depth to the scene, emphasizing the grotesque and decadent elements present in the narrative. In this particular illustration, we witness Queen Guinevere's transformation into a nun as she renounces her royal status. Beardsley masterfully captures this pivotal moment with intricate details and meticulous attention to contrast. The poster-style presentation further enhances its visual impact. A prominent figure of the Art Nouveau movement in the late 19th century, Beardsley's work continues to captivate audiences with its stylistic approach and imaginative storytelling. His engravings are known for their ability to evoke emotions through their expressive characters and dramatic compositions. This exquisite print serves as a testament to Beardsley's artistic prowess while offering viewers a glimpse into one of literature's most enduring tales. Its timeless allure makes it an invaluable addition to any art collection or admirer of both classic literature and fine illustrations.
