EDITORS COMMENTS
The Enchanter Merlin: A Timeless Portrait of Magic and Wisdom". In this photo print, we are transported into the realm of enchantment as we witness "The Enchanter Merlin" come to life from Ludovico Ariosto's epic poem, Orlando Furioso. Created by the talented Gustave Dore in 1888, this engraving beautifully captures the essence of Merlin's character. Seated with utmost concentration, his long beard flowing down to his chest, Merlin exudes an aura of ancient wisdom and power. With a book of magic spells open before him, he delves deep into its secrets while lost in thought. His piercing gaze reveals a mind brimming with knowledge and foresight. As we observe this illustration for verse 61, it becomes evident that Dore has masterfully portrayed Merlin's enigmatic persona. The lines etched on paper seem to come alive under his touch, breathing life into one of literature's most iconic sorcerers. Merlin is not just an old magician; he represents something far greater - a symbol of infinite possibilities and untapped potential. Through this image, we are reminded that true magic lies within our own minds if only we dare to explore it. This mesmerizing portrayal serves as a timeless reminder that even amidst chaos (as depicted in Orlando Furioso), there exists an unwavering source of strength and guidance – embodied by none other than "The Enchanter Merlin.
