Author: GESSO PANELS
Title: Two gesso panels illustrating Tennyson's Lancelot and Elaine incorporating the defining phrase of the poem and of their association "Sweet is true love tho given in vain, in vain."
Description: c. 1890. Each panel is 730 x 210 mm, gesso on canvas, mounted on board in later frames. By an unknown, though accomplished artist these typically late 19th century style panels may have formed part of a larger design, perhaps panels for a library in an Arts and Crafts house.
