EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "They stood outside, filled with savagery and terror" we are transported into the mystical world of Irish Fairy Tales. Created by Arthur Rackham in 1920, the illustration vividly depicts a scene from James Stephens' enchanting story. As we gaze upon the image, our eyes are immediately drawn to a group of men standing outside an ominous cave entrance. Their faces contorted with fear and aggression, they exude an overwhelming sense of savagery that sends shivers down our spines. The artist's masterful use of color lithography brings life to every detail - from the vibrant holly berries adorning their walking sticks to the snarling expressions on their loyal dogs' faces. The composition tells a tale of ancient legend and myth as these brave warriors hesitate at the threshold of darkness. We can almost feel their trepidation as they contemplate entering the mysterious cavern before them. Meanwhile, their faithful canine companions wait anxiously by their side, too terrified to venture further. This mesmerizing artwork not only captures our imagination but also serves as a reminder of humanity's enduring fascination with folklore and fairy tales. It invites us to delve into worlds beyond our own reality where magic intertwines with everyday existence. Bridgeman Images has preserved this timeless piece from The Stapleton Collection for all art enthusiasts to appreciate its beauty and immerse themselves in its narrative once more.
