EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures Sir Lancelot in the Chapel Perilous, a pivotal moment from Henry Gilbert's Stories of the Knights of the Round Table. The first edition lithograph, created by Walter Crane in 1911, beautifully brings to life this Arthurian legend. In this scene, we witness how Lancelot was made a knight as he stands solemnly within the mystical Chapel Perilous. This mythical place is known as the home of the Holy Grail, shrouded in mystery and danger. The atmosphere is palpable as Sir Lancelot gazes upon a dead body lying on an intricately designed cloth. The attention to detail is remarkable; every element contributes to the overall narrative. From the knife used for snipping fabric to the carefully arranged shroud covering the corpse, each object adds depth and intrigue to this composition. Sir Lancelot himself exudes strength and nobility, embodying his role as one of King Arthur's most trusted knights. His presence commands respect and admiration while also hinting at his internal struggle with temptation and desire. This print from Fine Art Finder's Stapleton Collection allows us to delve into this iconic tale once more. It serves as a reminder of our fascination with mythological stories that have captivated audiences for centuries.
