EDITORS COMMENTS
Once upon a time in the enchanted forests of Germany, the Brothers Grimm collected and penned down the most captivating fairy tales that have stood the test of time. Among these timeless stories is that of Bearskin, a character from the eponymous tale that continues to intrigue and delight readers and audiences alike. In this evocative image from 1917, Arthur Rackham brings the Bearskin fairy tale to life through his masterful illustration. The Brothers Grimm's original tale tells of a young man who dons a bearskin to disguise himself and win the hand of the king's daughter. However, the character in this print remains shrouded in mystery, his face obscured by the thick, furry hide that covers his entire body. The chilling effect of the image is heightened by the dark, forested background, which seems to close in around the figure, creating an air of suspense and intrigue. The use of muted colors and the play of light and shadow further emphasize the otherworldly atmosphere of the scene. Rackham's illustration is a testament to the enduring power of the Brothers Grimm's fairy tales, which continue to captivate and inspire generations. This print offers a glimpse into the rich history of storytelling and the magical world of folklore that has shaped our collective imagination. Whether you are a fan of the Brothers Grimm, a collector of fairy tale illustrations, or simply someone who appreciates the beauty of a well-told tale, this Bearskin print is a must-have addition to your collection. Let the enchantment of the Brothers Grimm's tales transport you to a world of wonder and magic, where the impossible becomes possible and the ordinary becomes extraordinary.
