Esta es una recreación de Elaine en el clásico "The Lady of Shalott" de John William Waterhouse, inspirado a su vez en el poema del mismo título de Alfred Tennyson. Recuperé esta escena revisionando la serie de Ana de las Tejas Verdes para la colección de moda. De hecho, la primera escena es un plano de Ana leyendo el poema de Tennyson y, varios capítulos después, ella recreará con sus amigas el momento en el que Elaine decide abandonarse a un fatal destino por un amor no correspondido.
El caballero que no puede corresponder a Elaine es el Caballero Lancelot, que está absorbido por Ginebra. Esta historia me llevó hace unos años a interesarme por el libro "La Muerte de Arturo", de Thomas Malory, sobre la historia del Rey y los Caballeros de la Mesa Redonda. Es un libro extenso, lleno de pequeñas historias de idealización medieval. No es de extrañar que durante el romanticismo victoriano, tantos escritores y pintores ingleses revivieran la gloria de estas leyendas.
Mi pequeño revival artúrico es Elaine, icono para mi perfil del blog.
This is a recreation of Elaine in the classic "The Lady of Shalott" by John William Waterhouse, itself inspired by the poem of the same name by Alfred Tennyson. I recovered this scene reviewing the series of Anne of Green Gables for the fashion collection. In fact, the first scene is a plane of Anne Redding the Tennyson's poem and, several chapters later, she recreates with her friends the moment when Elaine decides to indulge in a fatal fate for an unrequited love.
The gentleman that can not look at Elaine is none other than Lancelot, which is absorbed inGeneva . A few years ago, this story led me became interested in the book "The Death of Arthur" by Thomas Malory, the story of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. It is a large book, full of little stories of medieval idealization. No wonder that during the Victorian romanticism, so many English painters and writers revive the glory of these legends.
