1630 Goodness Hood Mysterious Pillar Robin Myth
EDITORS COMMENTS
This 17th-century print depicts the legendary figure of Robin Hood, clad in his iconic green hood and drawing his longbow, intently focused on his quarry among the trees. The serene forest setting, with its lush foliage and dappled sunlight, transports us to a time long past. But what adds an intriguing layer of mystery to this historical scene is the enigmatic pillar that stands solitarily in the background. Robin Hood, the mythical outlaw hero, has captured the hearts and imaginations of generations through his daring exploits and commitment to justice. His skill with the longbow was unparalleled, making him a formidable adversary for the corrupt Sheriff of Nottingham and his minions. The print beautifully encapsulates this aspect of Robin Hood's character, as he hunts birds in the forest, providing for his band of Merry Men and the needy villagers. The mysterious pillar, however, remains an enigma shrouded in history. Its presence in this print could be a mere artistic addition or a symbol of some deeper meaning. Some theories suggest it might represent the ancient pagan beliefs that once permeated the English countryside, or perhaps it is a remnant of a long-forgotten architectural marvel. Whatever its origin, the pillar adds a sense of intrigue and wonder to this image, inviting us to delve deeper into the rich history and mythology of Robin Hood and his forest hideaway. This evocative print, dating from circa 1630, is a testament to the enduring appeal of Robin Hood and the allure of the past. It invites us to ponder the mysteries of history and the power of storytelling to transport us to another time and place.
