EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Who Killed Cock Robin" takes us into a whimsical world of fairy tales and fantasy. Created by the talented artist John Anster Fitzgerald, this watercolor on paper masterpiece is now part of a private collection. The image transports us to an enchanting woodland scene where fairies roam freely. However, amidst the magical atmosphere, we are confronted with a somber sight - the lifeless body of Cock Robin lying on the ground. The delicate strokes and vibrant colors bring out every detail in this thought-provoking sketch. As we delve deeper into the composition, our attention is drawn to a small sparrow perched nearby with an arrow in its beak. It becomes clear that this tiny creature is responsible for Cock Robin's untimely demise. The juxtaposition between innocence and death adds an element of mystery to this children's illustration. The presence of red berries scattered around further emphasizes the tragedy that has unfolded within this fantastical realm. Through his skillful brushwork, Fitzgerald manages to capture both beauty and sorrow in one frame. "Who Killed Cock Robin" serves as a reminder that even in fairy tales, darkness can lurk beneath seemingly idyllic settings. This painting invites viewers to reflect upon themes such as mortality and fate while marveling at its intricate details and imaginative storytelling.
