EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported into the world of Charles Perrault's famous tale, "Le Petit Poucet". The image depicts a spine-chilling scene where an ogre is on the prowl, searching for innocent children. Created by an anonymous illustrator in the late 19th century, this artwork perfectly captures the essence of fear and suspense that permeates Perrault's story. The artist skillfully portrays the ogre as a menacing figure with his hulking frame and grotesque features. His eyes gleam with malevolence as he scans his surroundings, determined to find his next victims. The dark shadows cast by moonlight add an eerie atmosphere to the illustration, heightening our sense of foreboding. This image serves as a reminder of how deeply ingrained fairy tales are in our collective consciousness. Perrault's stories have captivated generations of readers with their timeless themes and vivid characters. Through this illustration, we witness the power of imagination and storytelling to transport us into fantastical worlds filled with both wonder and danger. As we gaze upon this haunting artwork from Stefano Bianchetti's private collection, we can't help but be reminded of our own childhood fears and fantasies. It serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of Charles Perrault's work and its ability to ignite our imaginations even centuries after its creation.
