A gold Roman ring decorated with the bust of Minerva carved in chalcedony .

Similar in function to an amulet, a ring with a portrait of a divinity brought the wearer under the deity's protection.

The extremely high relief carving of this gem is unusual for a ring.

Guinevere

Artist: Eleanor Fortescue Brickdale (British, 1872-1945)

Date: 1919

Medium: Watercolor, color plate

Collection: Private Collection

Description

Lines printed with the title: "Her memory, from old habit of mind / Went slipping back upon the golden days / In which she saw him first, when Launcelot came" (from Tennyson's Guinevere).

Anthony Harrison talks of the "extraordinarily wide dissemination" of Tennyson's Idylls of the King (605), and it enjoyed tremendous success throughout the period, despite the poet's traditionalist stance in Guinevere.

William Morris's "The Defence of Guenevere" put a different complexion on her adultery. Harrison notes that it was too radical for most readers when first published (1858), but became influential later. Brickdale's representation of her, as beautiful and at one with surrounding nature, seems to confirm a shift in sympathies.
