EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an original drawing by Carlo Chiostri, one of the first Italian illustrators to bring Collodi's beloved character, Pinocchio, to life. In this scene, we see the wooden puppet suspended from a tree by two cunning bandits - the mischievous cat and the camouflaged fox. Chiostri's intricate detailing and masterful use of shading create a sense of depth and drama in this illustration. The viewer is immediately drawn into Pinocchio's plight as he hangs helplessly above the ground. The antler-like branches of the tree add an eerie touch to the composition, emphasizing Pinocchio's vulnerability. It is fascinating to compare this original drawing with its later engraved version for the French edition. Chiostri's skill as an engraver is evident in both versions, but there is a rawness and immediacy present in this unadulterated drawing that adds another layer of authenticity. Pinocchio has long been a cherished childhood character, embodying themes of imagination, youthfulness, and truthfulness. This image captures his early adventures in Collodi's tale - a folktale that has captivated readers for generations. Through Patrice Cartier's lens, we are able to appreciate not only Chiostri's artistic talent but also his contribution to Italian literature and European illustration during the 19th century. This print serves as a timeless reminder of Pinocchio’s enduring appeal across cultures and ages.
