EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "St David and the Holy Grail" transports viewers to a realm of enchantment and mystique. Created by Allan Stewart in the early 20th century, this colour lithograph showcases a scene from English history, as depicted in E. L. Hoskyn's book "More Pictures of English History". The image portrays an apparition-like figure of St David standing amidst a lush forest. A majestic stag and horse accompany him, symbolizing both wild beauty and farm animals that have been tamed by humans. The presence of these creatures evokes a sense of harmony between nature and mankind. Intriguingly, the focal point is the Holy Grail itself—a sacred relic associated with Christian mythology—illuminated with vibrant colors against the backdrop of towering trees. This depiction hints at ancient legends surrounding King Arthur's knights on their quest for this mythical chalice. The composition exudes an aura of spirituality, enhanced by crosses scattered throughout the image. It invites contemplation about faith, miracles, and religious devotion during medieval times. With its meticulous detail and botanical accuracy, this lithograph also reflects scientific methods prevalent during that era when natural history was explored fervently. Overall, this artwork encapsulates elements from various realms: history, religion, legend, mythology—all intertwined within an exquisite visual narrative crafted by Stewart's skilled hand.
