My Lady Greensleeves
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating song illustration that transports us to the enchanting world of old English folk ballads. Created by Walter Crane in 1884, this vibrant lithograph captures the essence of a traditional love story set against the backdrop of perilous adventures. The image depicts a scene from the popular and well-known ballad dating back to the 16th century. A male sailor, dressed in his seafaring attire, passionately serenades his beloved lady Greensleeves. The composition exudes an air of danger as sailors face perils at sea while pursuing their true loves. Crane's attention to detail shines through as he portrays various elements that add depth to the narrative. A mermaid gracefully emerges from the waves, symbolizing both allure and threat. A parrot perched on a branch adds whimsy and charm to this tale of romance amidst adversity. While once attributed to Henry VIII's pursuit of Anne Boleyn, it is now believed that "My Lady Greensleeves" originated during Elizabethan times with Italian influences evident in its composition style. This stunning print invites us into a world where love conquers all despite dangers lurking around every corner. It serves as a reminder that even in turbulent times, music has the power to transcend boundaries and touch our hearts with its timeless melodies.
