EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration by Albert Robida brings to life the timeless tale of Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves. In this scene, we find ourselves amidst a dense forest, where Ali Baba cleverly hides behind a large tree trunk. With bated breath, he eavesdrops on a group of forty thieves as they visit their secret treasure store. Robida's intricate details transport us into the heart of this Arabian Nights adventure. The bandits are depicted with menacing expressions and clad in traditional attire, emphasizing their malevolent nature. Meanwhile, Ali Baba remains hidden but alert, his eyes wide with anticipation. The artist's skillful use of light and shadow adds depth to the composition, enhancing the suspenseful atmosphere surrounding this clandestine encounter. Every stroke contributes to the overall narrative powerfully woven within this single image. As viewers immerse themselves in Robida's interpretation of this beloved folktale, they become part of an age-old tradition: storytelling at its finest. This French illustrator masterfully captures not only the essence of Arab culture but also showcases his own artistic prowess through meticulous attention to detail. With each glance at this print from 1945 held privately in collection ELD4870538, one can't help but be transported back in time - reliving an ancient story that continues to captivate audiences across generations.
