Outside of King Arthur and the knights of the Round Table, there are few characters that stand as tall when it comes to chivalry and honor as Robin Hood. A dashing rogue of sorts, he is capable of great feats of archery and swordplay, while also standing for justice and protecting the weak. Steal from the rich and give to the poor. While a crime, certainly a noble ideal when those in power are as corrupt as those in Nottinghamshire. Howard Pyle’s Robin Hood interpretation holds fast to this swashbuckling idea.
