EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration, titled "How Mordred was slain by Arthur, and how by him Arthur was hurt to the death" brings to life a pivotal moment in the legendary tale of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table. Created by renowned artist Arthur Rackham, this colour lithograph is part of Alfred Pollard's book "The Romance of King Arthur and His Knights of the Round Table". In this scene, we witness a climactic confrontation between Sir Mordred, known as the Traitor, and King Arthur himself. The medieval setting is beautifully depicted with intricate details that transport us back in time. Both knights are armed with lances held firmly in their hands as they engage in a fierce battle. As Mordred lunges forward with his spear aimed at Arthur's heart, our hero skillfully defends himself. With incredible strength and determination, he manages to strike down Mordred while simultaneously receiving a fatal blow. This image captures not only the physical clash between these two formidable opponents but also symbolizes the timeless struggle between good and evil. It represents an important turning point in the story where betrayal leads to tragedy for both sides. Rackham's mastery shines through every brushstroke as he expertly conveys tension, emotion, and action within this single frame. This print serves as a reminder of the enduring power of mythology, chivalry, romance literature while honoring one of history's most beloved legends - King Arthur.
