The King's Farewell - A Majestic Tribute to Arthurian Legend
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this engraving by Gustave Dore, we are transported into the realm of Arthurian legend. The print, titled "The King's Farewell" beautifully captures the essence of Tennyson's Idylls of the King. As we gaze upon this masterpiece, our eyes are drawn to the central figure - a regal and noble king bidding his farewell. Clad in majestic armor with a crown atop his head, he stands tall and resolute amidst an ethereal backdrop. This poignant scene evokes a sense of melancholy as we witness the end of an era. Dore's attention to detail is truly remarkable; every line etched with precision brings life to each character surrounding the king. Guinevere, his beloved queen, stands beside him with tears streaming down her face - their love immortalized in this moment forever. This engraving not only pays homage to English literature but also serves as a testament to the enduring power of myth and legend. It transports us back in time when knights fought for honor and chivalry reigned supreme. "The King's Farewell" is more than just a print; it is an invitation into a world where poetry intertwines with history and mythical tales come alive. As we admire this piece from Bridgeman Images' private collection, let us be reminded that legends like these continue to inspire generations through artistry and storytelling alike.
