EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured woodblock print, titled "The Sleeping Beauty in The Wood" takes us on a whimsical journey into the world of fairy tales. Created by an anonymous French School artist in the 18th century, this enchanting artwork is based on Charles Perrault's famous story and was published in 1925. The image depicts a serene scene from the timeless tale of Sleeping Beauty. A beautiful princess lies peacefully on an ornate bed, surrounded by exquisite furnishings. As she slumbers under a spell cast by a wicked fairy, nature has taken over the once grand room, with vines and flowers growing freely around her. Intriguingly, we see a young prince standing at the foot of the bed, captivated by the beauty before him. With hope and determination etched upon his face, he represents true love's quest to awaken his beloved from her deep sleep. This print evokes nostalgia for classic children's stories and their enduring appeal across generations. It reminds us of our own childhood dreams filled with magic and wonderment. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring life to this age-old tale while inviting viewers to imagine themselves as part of its narrative. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are transported back to a time when imagination knew no bounds—a reminder that even amidst darkness and slumber lies the potential for true love's awakening.
