EDITORS COMMENTS
In this enchanting print from the Brothers Grimm's "Little Brother & Little Sister and Other Tales" illustrated by Arthur Rackham, we are transported into a whimsical world of magic and music. The scene captures the moment when a bear, upon hearing the captivating melody of a fiddle, succumbs to its irresistible rhythm and begins to dance with uncontainable joy. The image depicts an intimate setting within a tailor's cell, where the cunning little tailor is accompanied by his trusty fiddler. As their music fills the air, it awakens something deep within the bear's soul - an innate connection to the power of sound and movement. With each note played on that enchanted violin, the bear's body sways gracefully in perfect harmony. This illustration beautifully encapsulates not only the transformative nature of music but also highlights themes often found in fairy tales: unexpected friendships between humans and animals, as well as magical occurrences that defy logic. It invites us to believe in extraordinary possibilities hidden within our everyday lives. Rackham's intricate engravings bring this timeless tale to life with delicate details and rich textures. Through his artistry, he transports us back to childhood wonderment while reminding us that even bears can be moved by beauty in its purest form – music.
