@art_sy_: "Knowing what awaits them, Hildebrand and Hellelil flee the castle but stop to rest in the woods. They hear her father and brothers who have been pursuing them approaching. Hildebrand gives Hellelil an important instruction not to call out his name. In the fight that ensues Hildebrand slays her father and six of her brothers and is about to slay the youngest when Hellelil screams out “Lord Hildebrand, for God’s dear love now hold thy hand!” Hildebrand spares the brother but Hellelil calling out his name made him vulnerable and the remaining brother inflicts upon him a mortal wound. After the death of her lover, Hellelil dies of sorrow in her mother’s arms." 👉 Fun fact : Because it’s a watercolour, it’s very fragile and can’t be exposed to direct light for too long. If you ever go to the National Gallery of Ireland, don’t forget it’s only available to view 2 days a week for 1 hour ! #arthistory #arttiktok #arttok #painting #art #History
