Cenerentola - The Prince and the Fairy,
EDITORS COMMENTS
an exquisite 17th-century Italian print from Mary Evans Picture Library, presents a captivating scene from the beloved fairy tale "Cinderella" or "Cenerentola," as it is known in its original Italian form. This historical artwork, published around 1630, offers a fascinating glimpse into the rich and intriguing world of Italian folk lore. The print depicts a pivotal moment in the story, where the mysterious fairy godmother, in her ethereal guise, bestows her magical gifts upon the humble and kind-hearted Cinderella. Surrounded by a glittering array of enchanted creatures, the fairy, with a gentle wave of her hand, transforms Cinderella's rags into a stunning gown, her glass slippers, and her carriage for the royal ball. The Prince, standing in the background, is shown in awe as he witnesses the magical metamorphosis. The delicate colors and intricate details of the print beautifully capture the essence of the fairy tale, transporting us to a time when magic and wonder were an integral part of everyday life. This Italian version of the Cinderella story, authored by Giambattista Basile, predates the more well-known adaptations by the Brothers Grimm and Charles Perrault. Basile's "Cenerentola" was first published in 1634, making this print an important historical artifact that connects us to the earliest known written record of this cherished tale. The print's intricate details and timeless storytelling make it a must-have for collectors of fairy tale art, folklore, and historical prints. This exquisite piece not only showcases the beauty and magic of the Cinderella story but also offers a captivating window into the rich cultural heritage of Italy during the 17th century.
