EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a poignant moment from the classic fairy tale, "The Mermaid" illustrated by Edmund Dulac. Published in 1938 as part of "Stories From Hans Andersen" this illustration beautifully depicts the tragic scene where the mermaid's life comes to an end. In vibrant color and exquisite detail, Dulac portrays the mermaid gazing one last time at her beloved prince. Her eyes, already dimmed by death, reflect both sorrow and acceptance. With great courage, she dashes overboard and falls into the water below, her body dissolving into foam. The image evokes a sense of melancholy as we witness this heartbreaking sacrifice for love. The floating foam symbolizes the mermaid's essence merging with nature itself, forever lost but never forgotten. Dulac's skillful brushstrokes bring this timeless tale to life once more. His illustration captures not only the physical beauty of these characters but also their emotional depth and vulnerability. As we gaze upon this enchanting artwork, we are reminded of the power that fairy tales hold – they transport us to magical realms while exploring universal themes such as love, loss, and selflessness. Hilary Jane Morgan has expertly curated this piece from Design Pics' collection to showcase Dulac's mastery in illustrating stories that continue to captivate readers across generations.
