EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Ferdinand the Faithful and Ferdinand the Unfaithful" takes us back to Germany in 1901. Created by artist Edward Henry Wehnert, this artwork is inspired by the famous Grimms Household Stories collected by the Brothers Grimm. In this scene, we see two contrasting characters named Ferdinand. The first Ferdinand represents faithfulness, depicted as a man standing proudly beside his loyal horse. They are both ready for an adventurous journey across land and water. On the other hand, we have Ferdinand the Unfaithful, portrayed as a man sitting on a boat with birds flying above him. His untrustworthy nature is evident as he abandons his faithful horse. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth to this century-old piece of art while emphasizing its timeless appeal. It transports us into a fairytale world where animals play significant roles alongside humans. Edward Henry Wehnert's attention to detail brings life to these fictional characters from literature classics like those written by the Brothers Grimm. This print serves as a reminder of their enduring legacy in storytelling. Whether you appreciate German culture or simply enjoy exploring different concepts through art, this print offers an intriguing glimpse into another time and place—a visual representation of loyalty versus betrayal that continues to captivate viewers even today.
