EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "The Shoes Which Were Danced to Pieces" takes us back to the enchanting world of German fairy tales. Created in 1901 by artist Edward Henry Wehnert, this artwork is inspired by the famous story from Grimms Household Stories collected by the Brothers Grimm. In this scene, we are transported inside a grand interior where soldiers and royalty gather for a secret event. The princesses, dressed in exquisite royal attire, dance gracefully with their partners while wearing magical shoes that mysteriously wear out each night. The atmosphere is filled with anticipation as the clock strikes midnight, revealing the concept of time passing unnoticed during these enchanted gatherings. Wehnert's monochrome portrayal adds an air of mystery and nostalgia to this 20th-century masterpiece. Every detail is meticulously captured - from the intricate clothing worn by both soldiers and princesses to the majestic war cloak draped over one soldier's arm. This print truly brings to life a moment frozen in time within a timeless fairytale setting. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of art, we can't help but be drawn into its rich narrative and imagine ourselves immersed in this fantastical world created by the Brothers Grimm. It serves as a reminder of how literature has always had the power to transport us beyond our reality into realms where magic exists and dreams come true.
