EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the tragic tale of Robert II de Normandie, the eldest son of William I, as he navigates the treacherous waters of power and love in 1100 France. Expected to be diligently working towards seizing the English throne upon his father's death, Robert instead finds himself entangled in a forbidden romance with Lady Sibylla.
As Robert dallies with Lady Sibylla, his ambitions slip through his fingers like grains of sand. His obsession with love blinds him to the political machinations swirling around him, ultimately leading to his downfall. The image freezes this pivotal moment in history when Robert's fate hangs precariously in the balance.
The intricate details captured in this print transport us back to a time when loyalty and betrayal were two sides of the same coin. The tension is palpable as we witness Robert's internal struggle between duty and desire play out before our eyes.
Through this powerful visual narrative, we are reminded that even those born into privilege are not immune to the intoxicating allure of love. Robert II de Normandie's story serves as a cautionary tale for all who dare to follow their hearts at the expense of their responsibilities.
