EDITORS COMMENTS
In this illustration from the 19th century, we are transported into the world of Charles Perrault's famous tale "Le Petit Poucet" (or "Tom Thumb"). The scene depicts an eerie moment as the ogre, seated at a grand table, suddenly feels the presence of little Poucet and his brothers. The artist skillfully captures the tension in this pivotal moment. The ogre's face is twisted with suspicion and curiosity, his eyes darting around as he senses something amiss. Meanwhile, little Poucet and his brothers remain hidden in plain sight, their small figures barely visible behind a curtain or under a chair. This engraving beautifully brings to life Perrault's imaginative character and highlights the dark undertones of this classic French folktale. The ogre represents danger and anthropophagy (the act of eating humans), adding an element of fear to the story. As we gaze upon this print from a bygone era, we can't help but be drawn into its mysterious atmosphere. It serves as a reminder that even in our modern times, these timeless tales continue to captivate our imagination and transport us to fantastical worlds filled with adventure and peril. This enchanting artwork is part of a private collection and stands as a testament to Stefano Bianchetti's talent for capturing moments that have resonated through generations.
