EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, depicts a pivotal moment in the legendary tale of Sir Bevis of Hampton and the giant Ascaparte. Dating back to the 16th century, this historical narrative has been passed down through English folklore for centuries. In the print, Sir Bevis, a gallant knight, stands victorious over the vanquished giant Ascaparte. The giant, now humbled and defeated, carries Sir Bevis' lady, Amoena, on board a ship. The image captures the essence of triumph and the transformation of a formidable foe into a loyal servant. The scene is taken from "Sir Beuys of Hampton," a chivalric romance written by Thomas Deloney and published in 1550. The story follows Sir Bevis, a brave and noble knight, who embarks on a series of adventures to win the hand of his beloved Amoena. One of his greatest challenges comes in the form of the monstrous giant Ascaparte, who threatens to destroy Hampton and kidnap Amoena. With his unwavering courage and skill, Sir Bevis manages to defeat the giant, ultimately sparing his life and making him his page. This print is a testament to the enduring power of chivalric tales and the themes of love, honor, and triumph that resonate with audiences even today. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring the story to life, transporting us back to a time when legends were born and heroes were made.
