EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Merlin and Nimue" takes us back to the enchanting world of King Arthur and his knights. The illustration, created by the talented artist Arthur Rackham in 1910, beautifully captures a pivotal moment in the Arthurian legend. In this scene, we see Nimue, also known as the Lady of the Lake, kneeling before Merlin inside a mystical cave. As an enchantress with magical powers, Nimue holds a significant role in this tale. Her innocent appearance contrasts with her immense power and wisdom. The coastal backdrop adds to the ethereal atmosphere surrounding these two characters. The shoreline stretches out behind them, reminding us of their connection to nature and ancient magic. Merlin himself is portrayed as a wise wizard who has fallen under Nimue's spell. This image encapsulates their complex relationship - one that combines love and betrayal, trust and manipulation. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing artwork from Alfred W. Pollard's book "The Romance of King Arthur" we are transported into a world where medieval legends come alive. It serves as a reminder of the enduring fascination with these timeless stories that continue to captivate our imaginations today.
