EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the year 1514, immersing us in a legendary battle scene. The image depicts King Arthur fearlessly engaging in single combat with a towering giant, under the watchful protection of the Virgin Mary. As Arthur wields his weapon, clad in shining armor and shielded by his royal banner, he symbolizes strength and courage amidst the chaos of warfare. Surrounding them are two armies of men eagerly spectating this epic clash between good and evil. Flags flutter proudly in the wind as soldiers stand ready for battle, their swords gleaming with anticipation. In this moment frozen in time, we witness not only a physical confrontation but also an embodiment of faith and divine intervention. The concept of protection is beautifully portrayed through the presence of the Virgin Mary, who stands as Arthur's champion and protector against all odds. Her ethereal grace adds a touch of spirituality to this medieval spectacle. As we delve into this woodcut masterpiece from Chroniques de Bretagne, we are reminded that legends transcend time. This artwork captures both historical context and religious symbolism within its monochrome frame—a testament to its enduring power even centuries later. Created by an unknown artist but preserved by Ann Ronan Pictures, this print allows us to marvel at King Arthur's bravery while contemplating themes such as heroism, faith, and destiny woven throughout our collective human history.
