EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing scene from the late 19th century, showcasing Breton gnomes joyously dancing around a mystical stone circle. Painted with oil on canvas by an anonymous French artist, this artwork is now held in a private collection. The image transports us to the enchanting world of folklore and legends, where supernatural beings known as korrigans and lutins come alive. In this ritualistic dance amidst towering monoliths, these dwarves engage in a prehistoric ceremony that seems both strange and intriguing. As smoke swirls around them, adding an air of mysticism to the scene, we are drawn into their otherworldly realm. The flickering fire illuminates their tiny figures as they move gracefully in unison, creating a vision that is both ethereal and captivating. The painting evokes a sense of wonderment as it combines elements of fantasy with historical references such as megaliths found in Brittany. It invites us to ponder upon the rich tapestry of human imagination throughout different eras. With its intricate details and vibrant colors, this artwork by Bridgeman Images not only showcases the talent of the artist but also serves as a testament to our enduring fascination with mythical creatures and ancient rituals.
