EDITORS COMMENTS
When the Sleeper Wakes" is a captivating lithograph by Henri Lanos that takes us on an imaginative journey through time and space. The print, part of a private collection, showcases the artist's exceptional talent in bringing H. G. Wells' iconic novel to life. In this mesmerizing image, we see a shadowy figure emerging from slumber as if awakening from a deep sleep. With outstretched wings and tilting forward on an aeropile, the sleeper named Graham appears ready to embark on an extraordinary adventure. Lanos skillfully captures the sense of anticipation and wonderment that permeates Wells' story. The engraving beautifully portrays Graham's transformation from ordinary man to intrepid explorer of unknown realms. As he awakens, his surroundings seem to dissolve into ethereal wisps while futuristic machinery surrounds him. This juxtaposition between past and future creates a visual tension that adds depth to the artwork. Lanos masterfully plays with light and shadow, enhancing the dramatic effect of this scene. The intricate details in every line showcase his technical prowess as an artist. This print serves as both homage to H. G. Wells' visionary tale and testament to Lanos' artistic brilliance. It invites viewers into a world where dreams become reality and challenges conventional notions of time travel. Bridgeman Images has once again curated a remarkable piece from their Fine Art Finder collection – one that sparks curiosity about what lies beyond our own waking moments.
