EDITORS COMMENTS
In this illustration titled "Her head and shoulders hung over the space without" we are transported to a world of heartbreak, despair, and romance. Created by Howard Pyle in 1904 as an illustration for The Maid of Landevennec, published in Harpers Magazine, this colour lithograph showcases the artist's mastery in capturing emotions through his brushstrokes. The image depicts a female figure leaning out of a window with her head and shoulders hanging over the empty space. Dressed in medieval costume, she exudes vulnerability and distress. Behind her stands a towering castle tower, symbolizing imprisonment and confinement. It is evident that she is deeply troubled by matters of love. As our eyes explore the scene further, we notice a male figure imprisoned within the tower. This suggests that he may be the cause of her heartache or perhaps someone she longs to save from his captivity. The vast sea stretching out before them adds to the sense of longing and distance between these two characters. Pyle's attention to detail brings this fictional tale to life, evoking empathy from viewers who can almost feel the weight of their emotions. This artwork serves as both an enchanting visual representation of literature and an exquisite example of Pyle's contribution to American art during the Brandywine School era.
