EDITORS COMMENTS
In this woodcut print from 1514, we witness the legendary King Arthur engaged in a fierce battle against a formidable giant. The scene is set amidst a grand tournament, where an enthralled audience watches with bated breath as the valiant knight fights for honor and glory. King Arthur stands tall, his armor gleaming under the Renaissance sun, wielding his mighty sword with unwavering determination. But he is not alone in this perilous encounter; he is protected by none other than the Virgin Mary herself. With her divine presence hovering above him, she shields him from harm and guides his every move. The giant looms over King Arthur menacingly, but our hero remains undeterred. His shield bears the emblem of his royal lineage while a flag flutters proudly in the wind, symbolizing his unwavering loyalty to his kingdom and its people. This woodcut print captures not only a moment of intense physical combat but also showcases themes of religion and motherhood. The inclusion of the Virgin Mary emphasizes King Arthur's devout faith and underscores how even great kings seek solace and protection from higher powers. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, we are transported back to an era when legends were born and chivalry reigned supreme – reminding us that courage knows no bounds when guided by faith and love for one's people.
