EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the timeless love story of Lancelot and Guinevere, immortalized in an 11th-century manuscript containing the Arthurian Legend. The intricate illustration, beautifully engraved by Paul Lacroix in 1878, transports us back to a medieval world filled with chivalry and romance. In this scene, we witness Sir Lancelot, a valiant knight of the Round Table, kneeling before Queen Guinevere in her opulent bedchamber. With his crown adorning his head and armor gleaming under dim candlelight, Lancelot pledges his unwavering devotion to his beloved lady fair. Their eyes meet with intense passion as they engage in a courtly dance of courting and wooing. The image captures the essence of their forbidden love affair that defied societal norms. It is said that their clandestine romance brought both joy and turmoil to Camelot's legendary court. Despite their undeniable connection, their relationship remained hidden behind closed doors. Through this enchanting artwork from Science and Literature in the Middle Ages and Renaissance collection, we are transported into a world where knights fought for honor while also surrendering themselves to matters of the heart. This evocative portrayal serves as a reminder that even amidst grand battles and quests for glory, love can conquer all - even if it comes at great cost.
