EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the enchanting world of King Arthur and his legendary knights. The illustration, created by Aubrey Beardsley in 1893-1894, beautifully captures the enigmatic character of Merlin, the powerful wizard from Sir Thomas Malory's iconic book "Le Morte d'Arthur". In this monochrome picture, ink on paper brings to life the intricate details of Merlin's appearance. His long flowing beard cascades down his chest, symbolizing wisdom and age-old knowledge. With a staff in hand and an intense gaze fixed upon us, he exudes an aura of mysticism that is both intriguing and intimidating. Beardsley's artistic style adds a unique touch to this depiction. The fine lines and delicate shading create a sense of depth while maintaining an air of simplicity. This aesthetic choice enhances the overall atmosphere of magic surrounding Merlin. As we admire this piece, we are reminded not only of Arthurian legends but also how art can bring literature to life visually. Beardsley's illustration serves as a testament to the enduring power of allegory and literature throughout history. This print is part of a private collection that cherishes its connection with England's rich mythology. It invites us to delve into tales filled with chivalry, honor, and adventure – where knights gather around the Round Table under Merlin's watchful eye.
