Eleanor Fortescue-Brickdale's painting "Lancelot And Elaine - Then To Her Tower She Climbed And Took The Shield, Thus Kept It And So Lived In Fantasy" is a captivating visual interpretation of a scene from Alfred Lord Tennyson's epic poem cycle, "Idylls of the King." Created in the early 20th century, this artwork exemplifies Fortescue-Brickdale's meticulous attention to detail and her ability to convey the emotional depth of literary subjects through her Pre-Raphaelite-inspired style.

The painting illustrates a poignant moment from the narrative of Elaine of Astolat, a character in Arthurian legend who falls deeply in love with Sir Lancelot. In Tennyson's retelling, Elaine, often referred to as the "Lily Maid of Astolat," cherishes Lancelot's shield after he leaves it in her care. The scene depicted by Fortescue-Brickdale shows Elaine in her tower, gazing upon the shield with a mixture of longing and melancholy, encapsulating her unrequited love and the fantasy world she constructs around her feelings for Lancelot.

Fortescue-Brickdale's use of rich, vibrant colors and intricate details draws the viewer into Elaine's emotional state, highlighting the contrast between her inner world and the reality of her situation. The artist's background in illustration and her association with the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood are evident in the painting's composition and the delicate rendering of textures and patterns.

This work is not only a testament to Fortescue-Brickdale's skill as a painter but also serves as a visual companion to Tennyson's literary masterpiece, offering a deeper understanding of the themes of love, fantasy, and the often tragic nature of idealized affection. Through her art, Fortescue-Brickdale invites viewers to explore the rich tapestry of Arthurian legend and the timeless human emotions that it evokes.
