EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Joseph Bouvier's oil on panel painting titled "The Changeling, a lovely boy stolen from an Indian King" created between 1850-88. The artwork measures 22x16 cm and is currently held in a private collection. Bouvier drew inspiration from William Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream, where Oberon exclaims about Titania having "a lovely boy stolen from an Indian King". This enchanting portrayal captures the essence of folklore and fantasy, depicting a young child who has been taken away by mystical forces. The colors used in this piece are vibrant and rich, adding to its allure. The artist skillfully brings to life various fictional characters such as fairies, sprites, pixies, and brownies. These wonderful creatures create an otherworldly atmosphere that transports viewers into the realm of imagination. "The Changeling" not only celebrates the beauty of childhood but also explores themes of royalty and kingship. It invites us to ponder upon the mysterious nature of folk stories while appreciating Bouvier's fine artistry.
