This dramatic wood engraving, "Idylls of the King", is one of Gustave Doré's many illustrations for Alfred Lord Tennyson's epic poem of the same name. The work depicts a chaotic scene of a sinking ship, the tragic fate of King Arthur's knights, and the final days of Camelot. Doré's illustrative style was known for its realism, detail, and dark romanticism. This image captures the mood of Tennyson's epic, portraying a sense of loss and despair, a fitting illustration for the poem's tragic tale.
