platoapproved:fuckyeahwomeninarmor:Sequel to the previous image. Painting of another scene from Spenser’s Faerie Queene, this one done by artist Mary F. Raphael in 1898. It depicts Lady Amoret kissing the hand of her rescuer, the female knight Britomart. Has a lovely femslash vibe!Just so you guys know they totally do it in the poem. Amoret insists on having her own room while she thinks Britomart is a man, until she finds out she’s a woman and is like OH, THAT CHANGES THINGS and they hop in bed and Spenser gives the renaissance poetic equivalent of “AND THEN THEY HAD A LOT OF FUN LET ME TELL YOU”Guys.Female armour done right.(19th century female amor done excellently?) -- source link
