I've been working on this piece for a while. It depicts the moment before the 'final embrace' between King Arthur and his bastard son Mordred. Although in Sir Thomas Malory's Le Morte d'Arthur (1485) Arthur runs Mordred through with a spear, and in the Vulgate Mort Artu (1210–1235) Arthur and Mordred both charge at each other on horses I chose to depict the scene with Arthur carrying the long sword, Excalibur, and Mordred a pike. 

I am pleased with the capuring of each's stance - Arthur's open and confrontational stance as he shouts the challenge "Traitor! Now is thy death day come" and Mordred defiant and oppressive. Emphasis is put on both stances by the low angle, and with Arthur in the slight forground this shows to Mordred as a towering and imposing opponent.

The setting sun motif is homage to both N. C. Wyeth illustration for Sidney Lanier's The Boy's King Arthur (1922) and also John Boorman's excellent film Excalibur (1981).
 
The final portrait is 20,000px x 14,145px which makes it over 282 megapixels in size. With a pixel density this high the reproduction is exceptionally fine, especially considering the world leading quality of pigment ink and paper used in the printing process.
 
All prints are giclée printed using genuine Lucia Pro pigment inks (archival ratings of up to 200 years) to a selection of Hahnemühle, Photospeed and Canson papers and can be supplied either print only or mounted and bespoke framed. Please note the mounts and frames will increase the overall size of the final framed portrait as the sizes below are for the print only.
 
All frames are ethically sourced solid wood and are fully sealed both at the rear of the frame and between the back mount and the glass to keep your portrait dust free.
