EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodcut print from Wynkyn de Wordes' 1529 edition of Thomas Malory's "Mort d Arthur" transports us back to the legendary world of King Arthur and his knights. The scene depicted is none other than Sir Launcelot, one of the most renowned knights of the Round Table, participating in a thrilling tournament. With his burgonet helmet firmly secured on his head, Launcelot charges forward with unwavering determination. His lance poised for action, he embodies the epitome of chivalry and valor. The intricate details captured in this woodcut bring to life the vibrant energy and excitement that surrounded these medieval jousting events. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of the timeless tale of love and betrayal that unfolded between Launcelot and Queen Guinevere. Despite their forbidden romance, it is impossible not to admire Launcelot's loyalty to both king and queen as he fearlessly defends their honor on countless battlefields. The Renaissance style evident in this woodcut adds an extra layer of grandeur to an already majestic scene. It serves as a testament to how deeply ingrained Arthurian legends were within European culture during this period. In essence, this remarkable print captures not only a momentous event in King Arthur's court but also encapsulates the enduring allure and fascination surrounding Sir Launcelot - forever etching him into our collective imagination as one of history's greatest knights.
