EDITORS COMMENTS
- this print takes us on a journey through the enchanting world of Irish mythology. Illustrated by Arthur Rackham in 1920, it depicts a scene from James Stephens' "Irish Fairy Tales". The image showcases Tuan Mac Cairill's tumultuous arrival in Ireland, as he flees from relentless pursuit. In this mesmerizing artwork, we witness Tuan's desperate flight through a mystical landscape. As he runs, various animals join the chase – a bear lumbers behind him, ducks take flight from the river below, and even a mischievous cat leaps alongside him. The tension is palpable as Tuan navigates his way through meandering rivers and dense foliage. The artist's skillful use of color lithography brings this magical tale to life. Vibrant hues illuminate every element of the composition – from the shimmering water to the lush greenery that surrounds our protagonist. Each brushstroke seems infused with an otherworldly energy, enhancing the sense of wonder and adventure that permeate this scene. As we gaze upon this extraordinary piece, we are reminded of how folklore can transport us to realms beyond our imagination. It serves as both an invitation to explore ancient myths and an homage to their enduring power over our collective consciousness. This evocative print captures not only Tuan's harrowing escape but also encapsulates humanity's eternal fascination with tales that transcend time itself.
