| Antique Print Knights Mediaeval Chivalry Jousting ArtA gorgeous illustration by one of Britain's most well-respected illustrators and artists of the period. Walter Crane was a painter, decorator, designer, book illustrator, writer and socialist. Born in Liverpool in 1845, his technical background allowed him to develop a much greater craftsmanship in the art of the book than any other contemporary artist. He had the great strength of being principally an illustrator and not merely a painter who illustrated books. The Paris Commune had a powerful influence on him and led to his association with William Morris and the socialist cause. Although direct followers are hard to pin down, Crane was widely influential and the Crane style appears in the Art School work of the 1890s and 1900s. (Houfe)This is a beautiful image of Robin Hood and his men rescuing their outlaw friend Will Stutley from the Sheriff of Nottingham's gallows. Note the distinctive Crane monograph in the corner. Beautiful colouring. |
