EDITORS COMMENTS
The Army of Ravens, a scene from The Dream of Rhonabwy, part of The Mabinogion (engraving) captures the essence of Welsh mythology and Arthurian legend. In this intricate artwork by the English School in the 19th century, we witness King Arthur and Owein engrossed in a game of gwyddbwyll while chaos unfolds around them. Amidst a fierce battle between Arthur's squires and pages against Owain's army of ravens, messengers appear to update the two players on the progress. However, undeterred by the unfolding conflict, they continue their intense chess-like game with unwavering focus. The print showcases elements that define medieval tales: knights clad in armor wielding lances, fighting under tents adorned with lion crests. But what truly captivates is the presence of crows and birds scattered throughout; these creatures symbolize both menace and mysticism within this enchanting story. This engraving not only transports us to an era steeped in myth but also highlights themes such as loyalty, strategy, and determination. It serves as a reminder that even amidst turmoil and war, games can hold great power – allowing individuals to momentarily escape reality or find solace amid chaos. With its poetic undertones and romantic allure, 'The Army of Ravens' invites viewers into a world where legends come alive through artistry. This piece from The Mabinogion collection is sure to ignite imaginations while celebrating Wales
