Eleanor Fortescue-Brickdale, a prominent English artist and illustrator associated with the Pre-Raphaelite movement, created the painting "Lancelot and Elaine - 'but To Be With You Still And See Your Face, To Serve You And To Follow You Thr'o The World'" in the early 20th century. This work is a vivid representation of a scene from Alfred, Lord Tennyson's narrative poem "Idylls of the King," which reinterprets the Arthurian legends. The painting captures the poignant moment between Sir Lancelot and Elaine of Astolat, also known as the "Fair Maid of Astolat," who harbors unrequited love for the noble knight.

Fortescue-Brickdale's meticulous attention to detail and her use of vibrant colors are characteristic of her style, which was heavily influenced by the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. This movement sought to return to the abundant detail, intense colors, and complex compositions of Quattrocento Italian art. In this particular work, the artist's skill in rendering intricate textures and elaborate costumes is evident, bringing to life the medieval setting and the emotional depth of the characters.

The painting's title, "but To Be With You Still And See Your Face, To Serve You And To Follow You Thr'o The World," is a direct quote from Tennyson's poem, encapsulating Elaine's devotion and the tragic nature of her love for Lancelot. The composition likely features Elaine gazing longingly at Lancelot, her expression a mixture of hope and despair, while Lancelot, bound by his loyalty to Queen Guinevere, remains distant and unattainable.

Eleanor Fortescue-Brickdale's work is celebrated for its narrative quality and its ability to convey complex emotional states through visual art. "Lancelot and Elaine" stands as a testament to her talent and her contribution to the continuation and evolution of the Pre-Raphaelite aesthetic into the 20th century. This painting not only reflects the timeless themes of love and longing but also showcases the enduring appeal of Arthurian legends in the realm of fine art.
