Lancelot of the Lake [Lancelot du Lac]

N.p. N.p., Circa 1974. Vintage borderless reference photograph of director Robert Bresson and still photographer Jacques Henri Lartigue on the set of the 1974 film, with cinematographer Pasqualino de Santis just visible at the top left corner. With a provenance stamp on the verso, along with manuscript ink annotations.

Bresson’s bloody take on the King Arthur legend was an expansion of the aesthetic he had already developed, where the violence that was once implied became a reality—though certainly still quite surreal.

Shot on location in Noirmoutier-en-L'Ile, France.

9.25 x 7 inches. Near Fine.
