EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a legendary moment from the Middle Ages - King Artus, protected by the Virgin Mary herself, engaged in an epic battle against a fearsome giant. The image is derived from Paul Lacroix's renowned work "Military and Religious Life in the Middle Ages" published in London around 1880. In this scene, King Artus or Arthur stands as a symbol of bravery and chivalry, ready to defend his kingdom with unwavering determination. Clad in gleaming armor and wielding his mighty sword, he fearlessly confronts the towering giant before him. The hand-to-hand combat depicted here exemplifies the valor and skill of medieval knights. The presence of the Virgin Mary adds a spiritual dimension to this dramatic encounter. Her protective stance signifies divine intervention on behalf of King Artus, emphasizing his righteousness and faithfulness to his cause. This portrayal echoes Alain Bouchard's woodcut illustration from "Chroniques de Bretagne" published in 1514. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, we are transported back to an era filled with legends and heroic tales. It serves as a testament to the enduring power of mythologies surrounding King Arthur that have captivated audiences for centuries. This extraordinary artwork is part of a private collection curated by Ken Welsh and made available through Fine Art Finder at www. bridgemanimages. com. Its historical significance combined with its artistic beauty makes it an enchanting addition to any art enthusiast's collection or admirer's wall space
