EDITORS COMMENTS
Queen Maeve seeks the wisdom of the Druid, as captured in this vibrant illustration from Eleanor Hull's renowned work, Cuchulain, The Hound of Ulster. Created in 1904 by Stephen Reid, this colour lithograph transports us to ancient Ireland and its rich mythological tapestry. In this scene, we witness Queen Maeve of Connacht humbly approaching the revered Druid for guidance before embarking on a fateful war against Ulster. With her regal presence and determination etched upon her face, she embodies both strength and vulnerability. The intricate details bring forth the essence of Irish royalty and power. The composition beautifully captures the contrast between light and shadow, symbolizing the delicate balance between good and evil that permeates Irish mythology. As Queen Maeve confides in the wise magician draped in mystical robes, one can almost feel their connection transcending time itself. This artwork not only showcases Eleanor Hull's exceptional storytelling ability but also pays homage to Ireland's legendary past. It invites us to delve into an enchanting world where myths come alive through vivid illustrations. As part of The Stapleton Collection held privately, this print serves as a reminder that legends continue to inspire our imaginations today. Let it transport you back to a time when queens sought counsel from druids amidst epic battles – a testament to human resilience and our eternal quest for knowledge.
