This illustration depicts
the aged King Arthur being presented with the Holy Grail by his
loyal Sir Galahad. The Text begins with a large decorated initial
"P" to read "Purity and innocence of spirit shall
reveal the glory of the Grail." The banderole (medieval scroll
shaped "cartoon balloon") reads "Thou givest me
strength."
This painting contains many medieval pigments that
are rarely if ever used today, including real 23k gold leaf on
14th c Italian type adhesive, malachite, azurite, real vermilion,
minium, and orpiment.
