Anglo Saxon Character Goodfellow Important Merry Pranks Puck Robin Symbolises Tradition Xylography
EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration hails from the 1628 publication, "Robin Goodfellow: His Mad Pranks and Merry Jests." The image, a product of English school art, showcases Robin Goodfellow, a character of great significance in the Anglo-Saxon tradition. He is most famously known as Puck, a mischievous sprite from Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream." The scene depicts a lively and mischievous Robin Goodfellow, clad in white and donning a square cap, engaging in one of his famous pranks. His merry jests are a beloved part of English folklore, and this illustration beautifully encapsulates his playful and whimsical nature. The artwork, an xylography, was created during a time when the English school was flourishing, producing intricate and detailed works of art. The Anglo-Saxon tradition, which emphasized the importance of storytelling and the supernatural, heavily influenced this illustration. Robin Goodfellow's symbolic representation as a mischievous sprite continues to captivate audiences, and this illustration is a testament to the enduring appeal of this beloved character. The intricate details of the artwork, from the folds in Robin's cloak to the expressions on the faces of those around him, transport us to a magical world of pranks and jests.
