EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an enchanting illustration of an ogre, inspired by the timeless tale "Le Petit Poucet" by Charles Perrault. Created in the 19th century, this anonymous engraving beautifully captures the essence of this classic French folktale. The ogre depicted in this artwork is a menacing figure with sharp features and a sinister expression. With his arm raised high, he holds a knife, alluding to his cannibalistic tendencies that are central to the story. His oversized boots suggest his immense size and power as he lurks in the shadows. The magic of this illustration lies not only in its portrayal of an imaginary character but also in its ability to transport us into the world of folklore and fantasy. It serves as a visual representation of Perrault's storytelling prowess and continues to captivate audiences even centuries after its creation. Displayed within a private collection, this remarkable engraving evokes curiosity and intrigue among art enthusiasts and literature lovers alike. Its inclusion in "Tales from the home for little ones" further emphasizes its significance as it was intended for young readers who were eager to be transported into magical realms through their imagination. Stefano Bianchetti's skillful reproduction ensures that this historical artwork remains accessible for generations to come, reminding us of our fascination with mythical creatures such as ogres while celebrating the enduring legacy of Charles Perrault's literary contributions.
