What the Moon Saw
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating visual interpretation of a scene from Hans Christian Andersen's timeless fairy tale, brought to life by the artistic brilliance of Sydney Carter. Circa 1905, this exquisite print invites us to peer into the magical world of the moon as it gazes upon the earth below. The image opens with a serene, crescent moon, its ethereal glow casting a gentle light upon the landscape below. The night sky is a canvas of twinkling stars, their soft reflections shimmering on the tranquil waters of a lake. The scene is bathed in a peaceful silence, broken only by the gentle lapping of the water against the shore. In the foreground, a small, thatched cottage nestles among the trees. Smoke gently billows from its chimney, a sign of warmth and comfort within. A path winds its way through the woods, leading to the cottage, and a figure can be seen making their way towards it. But it is the moon's expression that truly captivates us. Its gaze is fixed upon a young boy, who stands at the edge of the lake, his eyes fixed on the stars above. The moon seems to be watching over him, protecting him, as if sharing in his wonder at the beauty of the night. Sydney Carter's "What the Moon Saw" is a breathtaking testament to the power of imagination and the magic of the night. Through his art, we are transported to a world of wonder and enchantment, where the moon is not just a celestial body, but a guardian and a friend. This print is a treasure for any collector of fairy tale art or for those who believe in the magic of the night.
