How King Mark and Sir Dinadan Heard Sir Palomides II 1894

"How King Mark and Sir Dinadan Heard Sir Palomides II" is a black and white illustration created by Aubrey Beardsley in 1894. It depicts two figures on horseback riding through a forest, a scene inspired by the Arthurian legend. Beardsley’s signature style, with its bold lines and dramatic contrasts, is evident in the illustration. This characteristic style, which he applied to a variety of subjects, contributed to his success as a leading figure in the Art Nouveau movement, an international style of art, architecture, and design that flourished from the late 19th century to the early 20th century.
