The artwork titled “Queen Guinevere,” created by artist Arthur Rackham, is an illustration belonging to the Art Nouveau (Modern) movement. This illustration is part of the series “The Legends of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table,” authored by Nelly Montijn-De Fouw.
In the artwork, Queen Guinevere is depicted with striking elegance, astride a white horse. She is shown standing, her long, golden hair cascading down her back, adorned in a flowing green gown which exudes regality. Surrounded by lush trees and foliage, the scene evokes a natural and enchanting atmosphere typical of Rackham’s style within the Art Nouveau movement. The detailed line work and muted, earthy color palette create a sense of timeless beauty and mythical charm. Accompanying characters, dressed in period attire, add to the narrative, making the illustration a vibrant representation of the legendary tales of King Arthur and his court.
