EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting print captures a chilling scene from Charles Perrault's famous tale, "Le Petite poucet". The anonymous illustration depicts the terrifying moment when the ogre, driven by hunger and desperation, ruthlessly kills his own daughters. The artist's use of imagery is both striking and disturbing. Marcel Vagne skillfully portrays the anguish on the faces of the young girls as they lay in their beds, unaware of their impending doom. The attention to detail in their expressions evokes a sense of fear and helplessness. The late 19th-century artwork transports us into a world where imagination meets reality. It serves as a reminder that even within fairy tales, darkness can lurk beneath seemingly innocent stories. This particular illustration highlights Perrault's exploration of themes such as family dynamics, survival instincts, and sacrifice. As we gaze upon this thought-provoking image, we are reminded of the power literature holds in capturing our deepest fears and desires. It invites us to reflect on our own humanity while simultaneously captivating us with its macabre beauty. This print is part of a private collection owned by Stefano Bianchetti but has been made available for public viewing through Fine Art Finder. Its historical significance lies not only in its artistic merit but also in its representation of French literature during Charles Perrault's time.
