EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Sir Lancelot Approaching the Castle of Astolat" by Gustave Dore takes us on a journey into the heart of Arthurian legend. The artist's use of gouache and pen & ink creates an atmospheric and brooding scene, heightened with lead white on paper. As we gaze upon this masterpiece, we are transported to a dark and eerie forest, where Sir Lancelot rides his horse along a winding path towards the legendary castle. The medieval wood surrounding him adds to the sense of mystery and enchantment that permeates this artwork. With every stroke, Dore captures the essence of a romanticist quest, as Lancelot embarks on his fateful journey. The castle itself stands tall in the distance, shrouded in folklore and myth. It is both a dwelling for its inhabitants and a symbol of power within Arthurian lore. The horses grazing nearby add life to this mythical world, reminding us that even amidst legends there exists wildlife and farm animals. Dore's attention to detail brings out every nuance in this print - from the dramatic lighting to the intricate textures found within nature's embrace. This piece truly embodies the spirit of adventure and chivalry that defines Sir Lancelot's character. Displayed at The Art Institute of Chicago as part of The Charles Deering Collection, this artwork continues to captivate viewers with its timeless beauty.
