EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving by Gustave Dore, we witness the fateful encounter between Little Red Riding Hood and the cunning wolf as they cross through a dense forest. The intricate details of the print bring to life Charles Perrault's timeless tale, "Little Red Riding Hood" which has captured the imaginations of readers for centuries. As we gaze upon this scene, we can feel the tension building in our hearts. Little Red Riding Hood, depicted as an innocent child with her vibrant red hood and jug in hand, stands frozen in fear at the sight of the imposing wolf before her. The wolf's piercing eyes and menacing stance reveal his predatory nature, reminding us of his insidious intentions. The artist's skillful use of color adds depth to this momentous meeting. The contrasting shades create a sense of foreboding as shadows dance among towering trees and lush foliage. We are transported into a world where danger lurks behind every corner. This engraving serves as a reminder that even within childhood innocence lies vulnerability. It is a cautionary tale that warns against trusting strangers blindly and highlights the importance of staying vigilant in unfamiliar surroundings. Through Stefano Bianchetti's careful preservation and presentation, this piece continues to captivate audiences today. It invites us to delve into our collective imagination while appreciating both Dore's artistic mastery and Perrault's enduring narrative legacy.
