EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intense moment when Sir Launcelot, one of the legendary Knights of the Round Table, engages in a fierce battle with the knight Sir Peris de Forest Savage. Illustrated by Arthur Rackham for "The Romance of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table" by Alfred W. Pollard in 1910, this colourful lithograph showcases both the skill and bravery of these medieval warriors. Set amidst a twisted woodland backdrop, two female riders watch anxiously as their champion knights clash swords. The atmosphere is charged with anticipation as onlookers witness this epic confrontation between chivalrous heroes. The image beautifully portrays the essence of conflict and honor that defines this timeless tale. Sir Lancelot's determination to protect distressed ladies, damosels, and gentlewomen from harm is evident in every stroke of his sword. With unwavering courage and unmatched prowess, he valiantly fights against Sir Peris de Forest Savage to restore peace and justice. This artwork not only depicts an enthralling duel but also encapsulates themes such as gallantry, loyalty, and sacrifice that are central to Arthurian legends. It serves as a reminder that even in times long past, noble deeds were celebrated through art. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' private collection today, we are transported back to an era where knights roamed ancient forests on horseback - embodying strength both physically and morally - forever etching their stories into our collective imagination
