EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "The Goose-Girl at the Well" transports us to a world of enchantment and folklore. Created in 1901 by German artist Edward Henry Wehnert, this piece is based on the Grimms' Household Stories collected by the Brothers Grimm. In this scene, we witness a young man standing near a well, his basket filled with geese beside him. His gaze is fixed upon an intriguing figure - the titular goose-girl. Hunched over and cloaked in mystery, she embodies both beauty and danger. Wehnert's monochrome portrayal skillfully captures the essence of this fairytale setting. The contrasting shades of black and white lend an air of timelessness to the image, evoking a sense of nostalgia for early 20th-century Germany. As we delve into this artwork, we are reminded of classic literature's enduring power to transport us to distant lands where curses are cast and witches lurk in shadows. The composition invites us to ponder the fate that awaits these two characters as they navigate their way through witchcraft-infused trials. "The Goose-Girl at the Well" serves as a testament to Wehnert's artistic prowess and his ability to bring fictional characters from beloved tales to life through his brushstrokes. This print not only celebrates German culture but also pays homage to timeless storytelling traditions that continue captivating audiences across generations.
