EDITORS COMMENTS
Merlin the Magician and Nimue" is an enchanting and intriguing image taken from Sir Thomas Malory's "Le Morte d'Arthur," a seminal work in the Arthurian legend canon. This particular depiction is part of the 1892-1894 edition, featuring stunning illustrations by the renowned artist Aubrey Beardsley. The engraving captures Merlin, the legendary sorcerer, and Nimue, the enchantress, in an outdoor setting under the bright daylight. Merlin, with his distinctive pointed hat and long beard, stands tall and imposing, his staff in hand, gazing intently at Nimue. She is depicted as a seductive and mysterious figure, her long hair flowing around her, as she reaches out to touch the serpent encircling her waist, symbolizing the River of Enchantment from which she drew her power. Beardsley's modernist style is evident in the bold lines, intricate detail, and the use of color. The vertical composition of the image adds to the sense of drama and tension, as Merlin and Nimue seem to be locked in a timeless struggle. The image is a captivating representation of the complex relationship between the two powerful figures, and a testament to Beardsley's ability to bring the magical world of Arthurian legend to life. This engraving is a beautiful and intriguing addition to any collection of Arthurian literature or art, and a must-have for anyone interested in the history of illustration and the magical world of Merlin and Nimue.
