Toby Edward Rosenthal (1848-1917) captured the poignant essence of his composition, “Elaine,” in 1874.
Drawing inspiration from Alfred, Lord Tennyson’s 19th-century rendition of Arthurian legends in “Idylls of the King,” Rosenthal crafted a masterpiece. The focal point of the painting is Elaine, who meets a tragic end, succumbing to a broken heart after the rejection by Sir Lancelot. Rosenthal skillfully portrays Elaine’s postmortem journey from Astolat to Camelot: “In her right hand the lily, in her left / The letter, all her bright hair streaming down.” Rosenthal’s artistic choices resonate with the influence of the pre-Raphaelites, showcasing a profound connection to the romantic and detailed aesthetics of that era.
