Painting Description
"King Arthur and his Knights, from Lancelot du Lac, c.1490 by Antoine Verard, is a significant work in the canon of Arthurian literature. Antoine Verard, a prominent Parisian publisher and bookseller of the late 15th century, is known for his contributions to the dissemination of chivalric and courtly literature during the early Renaissance. This particular work is a printed edition of the Lancelot-Grail cycle, also known as the Vulgate Cycle, which is a cornerstone of medieval Arthurian romance.
The Lancelot-Grail cycle, originally composed in the early 13th century, is a collection of interconnected prose romances that detail the adventures of King Arthur, his knights, and the quest for the Holy Grail. Verard's edition, produced around 1490, is notable for its elaborate woodcut illustrations and ornate Gothic typeface, which reflect the artistic and cultural sensibilities of the period. The work is divided into several volumes, each focusing on different aspects of the Arthurian legend, including the exploits of Sir Lancelot, the love affair between Lancelot and Queen Guinevere, and the ultimate quest for the Holy Grail.
Verard's publication of Lancelot du Lac is particularly important because it represents one of the earliest instances of the Arthurian legends being made widely accessible through the medium of print. This transition from manuscript to print allowed for a broader dissemination of these stories, contributing to their enduring popularity and influence on subsequent literature and art. The 1490 edition by Verard is also a valuable artifact for scholars studying the history of book production, the evolution of Arthurian myth, and the cultural milieu of late medieval France.
In summary, King Arthur and his Knights, from Lancelot du Lac, c.1490 by Antoine Verard, is a landmark in the history of Arthurian literature, exemplifying the transition from manuscript to print and the enduring appeal of chivalric romance in the late medieval period."
