EDITORS COMMENTS
This colour lithograph print, titled "Britomart and Artegall" transports us to the enchanting world of Edmund Spenser's epic poem, The Faerie Queene. Created by Gertrude E. Demain Hammond in the early 20th century, this artwork beautifully captures a scene from Lawrence H Dawson's retelling of Spenser's masterpiece. The image depicts Britomart and Artegall, two iconic characters from The Faerie Queene, engaged in a moment of intense emotion and action. Britomart, a courageous female knight representing chastity and virtue, stands tall with her spear held high as she confronts an adversary. Beside her is Artegall, a noble knight embodying justice and righteousness. Hammond skillfully brings these characters to life through vibrant colours and intricate details. Every brushstroke seems to breathe life into their armor-clad figures as they stand against a backdrop that hints at an otherworldly realm filled with magic and wonder. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing print, we are reminded of the enduring power of literature to inspire visual artistry across centuries. It serves as a testament to the lasting impact of Spenser's work during the Elizabethan era – a time when poetry flourished under Queen Elizabeth I's patronage. This remarkable piece invites us to delve into the rich tapestry of English literature while celebrating the artistic legacy left behind by talented individuals like Hammond who continue to bring these timeless tales alive for generations to come.
