The Arming and Departure of the Knights
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating tapestry print that transports viewers to the realm of Arthurian legend. Designed by renowned artist Edward Coley Burne-Jones and skillfully woven by Morris & Co. , this textile masterpiece captures the essence of chivalry, adventure, and romance. Measuring an impressive 360x244 cm, the tapestry depicts a scene from Sir Thomas Malory's "Le Morte d'Arthur". As knights clad in shining armor prepare for their noble quest for the Holy Grail, a sense of anticipation fills the air. The meticulous attention to detail is evident in every thread, as Morris designed intricate heraldry while Dearle adorned the foreground with vibrant flowers. The composition exudes both spiritual and romantic elements. A group of gallant knights gather around a table adorned with symbols representing their sacred mission. A woman stands among them, her presence symbolizing feminine strength and support. Horses stand ready nearby, embodying loyalty and bravery. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, we are transported back in time to an era where honor reigned supreme. The tapestry evokes emotions of admiration for these legendary figures who embarked on perilous journeys fueled by love and devotion. Displayed at Birmingham Museums and Art Gallery, this print serves as a testament to Burne-Jones' artistic prowess and his ability to bring mythical tales to life through textiles. It reminds us that even today, centuries later, stories like King Arthur's continue to captivate our imaginations with their timeless allure.
