It was hand painted with oil on canvas. We commissioned this painting in 2005 for our art gallery. It was stretched and framed, ready to hang. John Collier was one of the most prominent portrait painters of his generation. He painted in the Pre-Raphaelite style, Queen Guinevre appeared in many pre-Raphaelite style paintings. Guinevere was the wife of King Arthur in many Arthurian legends. She has been portrayed as everything from a weak and opportunistic traitor to a fatally flawed but noble and virtuous gentlewoman. In the original Arthurian legends of Britain, Guinevere is not a false lover who betrays Arthur by sleeping with Lancelot. That part of the story was added many centuries later. Arthur's Queen, Guinevere is a bride queen archetype for Anglo-Saxons and Europeans. Here we see Guinevere performing that all important fertility goddess function, bringing in the spring on May Day. A-Maying is an ancient Celtic tradition. The month of May is named for an earth goddess. Mary Magdalene is often associated with Guinevere – both had red hair and were tainted brides, tainted queens, and both are connected to Glastonbury. In Mythology, the May Queen is also known as The Maiden, the goddess of spring, flower bride, queen of the faeries, and the lady of the flowers. The May Queen is a symbol of the stillness of nature around which everything revolves. She stands for purity, strength and the potential for growth, as the plants grow in May. Today the May Queen is a girl who must ride or walk at the front of a parade for May Day celebrations. She is generally crowned by flowers and makes a speech before the dancing begins. Certain age-groups dance round a Maypole celebrating youth and the spring time. In the Roman Catholic tradition, May is observed as Mary’s month, and in these circles May Day is usually a celebration of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Reference 1. “Collier, Hon. John.” Who’s Who. Vol. 59. 1907. P. 362 2. Frazer (1922), The Golden Bough, ch. 10 “Relics of tree worship in modern Europe.” Frazer quotes Mannhardt: "The names May, Father May, May Lady, Queen of the May, by which the anthropomorphic spirit of vegetation is often denoted, show that the idea of the spirit of vegetation is blent with a personification of the season at which his powers are most strikingly manifested."
