Taken from his renowned work "The story of king Arthur and his knights" published in 1903, this private collection piece captures a moment of intense emotion and intrigue. In this enchanting scene, we witness Vivien's beguiling power over Merlin as he becomes completely infatuated with her. The delicate lines and intricate details in Pyle's engraving bring out the depth of their characters, making them come alive on paper. Vivien, a fairy-like figure with an air of mystery surrounding her, is portrayed with grace and allure. Meanwhile, Merlin appears spellbound by her presence, unable to resist her magical charm. The composition beautifully highlights their profiles as they lean towards each other in an intimate gesture. This portrayal evokes a sense of forbidden love that transcends time and place. As viewers gaze upon this artwork, they are transported into the mythical world of King Arthur's legend where magic intertwines with human desires. Pyle's masterful depiction not only captures the essence of these legendary figures but also pays homage to British folklore and literature. It serves as a reminder of the enduring appeal that tales like King Arthur have held throughout history. Overall, this print is a testament to Howard Pyle's artistic genius while offering us a glimpse into an age-old tale filled with passion and enchantment.
