EDITORS COMMENTS
John Bauer's enchanting watercolor painting, "Sorceress and the King's Children," transports us to a magical realm where the line between beauty and the uncanny intertwines. Painted in 1909, this work by the renowned Swedish artist depicts a sorceress, her crone-like visage both mesmerizing and unsettling, as she gazes intently at the three young, fair-haired princes huddled around her. The sorceress, dressed in a flowing robe adorned with intricate patterns and symbols, exudes an air of mystery and power. Her outstretched hand seems to be weaving a spell, while the children appear both entranced and fearful. Bauer's masterful use of color and light creates a dreamlike atmosphere, with the rich greens and blues of the forest floor contrasting the warm hues of the sorceress's robe and the children's clothing. The delicate details in the painting, from the texture of the sorceress's wrinkled skin to the intricacies of her headdress, add depth and complexity to the scene. The tale of the sorceress and the king's children is one of many enchanting stories that Bauer brought to life through his art. His unique ability to blend the fine line between the beautiful and the ugly, the fairy and the witch, has made his work a beloved staple of the fairy tale tradition. This painting is a testament to Bauer's artistic vision and his enduring influence on the world of children's literature and art.
