EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of exhilaration and determination as depicted in the illustration from Irish Fairy Tales by James Stephens. The image showcases a young boy, Fionn, learning to run away from his pursuers using a switch. With every ounce of strength and energy, he strains and pants to catch up with the person chasing him, eager to turn the tables and become the one in pursuit. The vibrant colors of this color lithograph by Arthur Rackham bring this enchanting scene to life. Set amidst a mystical woodland backdrop, Fionn's adventurous spirit shines through as he navigates through branches and undergrowth. His face reflects both excitement and concentration as he embraces this thrilling chase. Rooted in Irish mythology, this illustration beautifully captures an important aspect of Fionn Mac Cumhaill's childhood – his ability to outwit his opponents even at such a tender age. The prickly branch held tightly in his hand symbolizes both his resourcefulness and resilience. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported into a world where fairy tales come alive. It serves as a reminder that within each child lies an untamed spirit yearning for adventure and discovery. This piece not only celebrates the magic of storytelling but also encourages us all to embrace our own pursuits with unwavering determination just like Fionn does here.
