Painting Description
"Elaine, The Lily Maid of Astolat" is a painting by Edward Henry Corbould, an English artist known for his historical and literary subjects. The artwork, which dates from the 19th century, depicts the character Elaine of Astolat, a figure from Arthurian legend. Elaine is often associated with the tragic story of unrequited love for Sir Lancelot, one of the Knights of the Round Table.
In the legend, Elaine dies of a broken heart after Lancelot rejects her affection. Her body is then placed in a boat filled with lilies, symbolizing her purity, and sent down the river to Camelot. Corbould's painting captures this poignant moment, portraying Elaine as the "Lily Maid," surrounded by the flowers that have come to represent her innocence and tragic end.
Edward Henry Corbould (1815–1905) was a Victorian artist who received royal patronage and was particularly admired for his illustrations of works by authors such as Charles Dickens. His interest in romantic and medieval themes is evident in "Elaine, The Lily Maid of Astolat," which reflects the Victorian fascination with chivalric ideals and the legends of King Arthur.
The painting is executed in the Pre-Raphaelite style, characterized by its vivid colors, attention to detail, and romanticized portrayal of its subjects. Corbould's work contributes to the rich tapestry of Arthurian art and continues to be of interest to those studying the visual culture of the Victorian era and the enduring appeal of the Arthurian legends.
