The Seven Ravens
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating illustration taken from a classic German fairytale brought to life by the renowned Edwardian artist, Arthur Rackham, in 1909. The image depicts a scene where the seven ravens, having transformed from human brothers, gather around a table laden with plates and cups. Their beady eyes are fixed intently on their food and drink, their beaks slightly parted as if in anticipation of their meal. The brothers, now ravens, have been cursed by their stepmother, who, in her jealousy, turned them into birds after they left their plates dirty. This illustration is a beautiful example of Rackham's distinctive style, which is characterized by his intricate line work, rich colors, and whimsical imagination. The use of shadow and light adds depth and texture to the image, creating a sense of mystery and intrigue. The illustration transports us to a magical world where fairytales come to life, and where the ordinary becomes extraordinary. The Seven Ravens is an enduring piece of children's literature from the early 1900s, and this illustration is a testament to the timeless appeal of fairytales. The image invites us to imagine the story that unfolds beyond the frame, and to ponder the moral of the tale - the importance of being mindful of one's actions and the consequences that follow. This illustration is not only a work of art but also a window into the rich history of storytelling and the enduring power of the imagination.
