EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the iconic moment from Arthurian legends when the Lady of the Lake, also known as Nimue or Viviane, presents King Arthur with the legendary sword Excalibur. Illustrated by Louis Rhead in 1923 for "King Arthur and his knights" this artwork showcases Rhead's mastery in depicting medieval themes. The image transports us to a mystical lake where a radiant Lady of the Lake emerges from its shimmering waters. Her ethereal beauty is enhanced by her flowing gown adorned with intricate details, reflecting the art nouveau style prevalent during that era. With grace and elegance, she extends Excalibur towards King Arthur, who stands before her in awe. The composition exudes an air of enchantment as vibrant colors and delicate brushstrokes bring life to every element within the scene. The artist's attention to detail is evident in capturing each character's expression; King Arthur appears humbled yet determined while receiving this extraordinary gift. Louis Rhead's illustration not only pays homage to one of literature's most enduring tales but also serves as a testament to his artistic prowess.
