EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting silver-toned silhouette illustration captures a pivotal moment from the timeless fairy tale "Undine" by Baron Friedrich de la Motte Fouque, first published in 1812. In the scene, the tempestuous waters of the Tirrenio Sea come alive, unleashing a furious storm that carries the water sprite Ondine from the ship, leaving her heartbroken lover Palemon behind with Berta. The angry waves and towering clouds create a dramatic backdrop to the unfolding tale of love and loss. Originally published in 1812, Fouque's "Undine" is a romantic fairy tale that tells the story of Palemon, a knight who falls in love with the water sprite Ondine. However, their love is tested when Ondine demands that Palemon promise never to speak her name aloud or she will leave him forever. When Palemon inadvertently breaks this promise, Ondine leaves him, but ultimately returns when he repents and promises to love her truly. This illustration, with its hauntingly beautiful silhouettes and intricate details, was likely created around the same time as the tale's initial publication. It has since been brought to life on stage as a ballet by the Royal Ballet in 1958 and 1960, allowing audiences to experience the magic and romance of Fouque's fairy tale in a new way. The image serves as a captivating reminder of the power of love and the beauty of the natural world, even in the midst of a storm.
