The Ogre Smells Fresh Human Flesh - A Captivating Illustration from Tom Thumb Fairy Tale
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This mesmerizing early 20th-century lithograph, created by Henri Thiriet, captures a pivotal moment in the beloved Perrault fairy tale of Tom Thumb (Le Petit Poucet). The illustration depicts an eerie scene where an ogre, with his grotesque features and menacing presence, catches a whiff of fresh human flesh. The artist's masterful use of color brings this haunting image to life. The dark shadows cast upon the kitchen walls create an atmosphere of suspense and danger. As we gaze at the ogre's sinister expression and sharpened teeth, we can almost feel his hunger for young Tom Thumb. Tom Thumb himself is portrayed as a tiny figure amidst towering pots and pans. His vulnerability is palpable as he tries to hide from the monstrous creature that threatens to devour him. This portrayal emphasizes the power dynamics between innocence and evil within fairy tales. Henri Thiriet's illustration serves as a visual gateway into Charles Perrault's enchanting world of storytelling. It reminds us why these timeless tales continue to captivate both children and adults alike. Through vivid imagery like this one, Perrault transports us into magical realms filled with adventure, danger, and moral lessons. This print invites us to delve deeper into the fantastical realm of fairy tales while appreciating Thiriet's artistic prowess in bringing these stories to life through his evocative illustrations.
