EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "The Red Cross Knight was completely overcome" we are transported to the enchanting world of the Faerie Queen, as imagined by Gertrude Demain Hammond in 1911. Published by George Harrap and Company, this colour lithograph beautifully captures a pivotal moment from Edmund Spenser's epic poem. The image depicts the Red Cross Knight, a symbol of chivalry and virtue, overwhelmed by an unknown force. His armor gleams in vibrant hues as he falls to his knees, his face etched with both exhaustion and determination. The intricate details of his attire reflect the opulence of the Elizabethan era. Hammond's skillful interpretation brings forth the romance and adventure that permeate Spenser's work. Through her brushstrokes, she transports us to a time when knights embarked on noble quests for love and honor. This exquisite piece serves as a reminder of England's rich literary heritage during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I. It encapsulates not only the essence of Spenser's poetry but also reflects upon themes such as bravery, loyalty, and courtly love that were highly valued during this period. As we gaze upon this evocative artwork from our private collection, let us be inspired by its beauty and delve into its narrative depths. May it ignite our imagination and transport us back to an age where heroes roamed fantastical realms in pursuit of their noble ideals.
