Perrault in Powder and Patch: Charles Perrault's Classic and Familiar Fairy Stories in Their Proper Guise - A Captivating Illustration of Bluebeard (La Barbe Bleue) by Kay Nielsen from The Illustrated London News (1913) This exquisite illustration, created by the renowned Danish artist Kay Nielsen for The Illustrated London News in 1913, brings to life Charles Perrault's famous fairy tale "Bluebeard" (La Barbe Bleue). The image captures the essence of the story, where the young and innocent bride, adorned in a pristine white wedding gown, stands in the grand, ornate room of her new husband, Bluebeard. The robber-bridegroom, with his distinctive blue beard, looks on with a menacing expression. Perrault's collection of fairy tales, published in 1697, was instrumental in shaping the genre as we know it today. This illustration, with its decorative art and intricate details, perfectly encapsulates the magical and fantastical nature of Perrault's tales. The image invites us to explore the world of fairy tales, where the familiar and the fantastical coexist, and where innocence and danger lie just beneath the surface. Kay Nielsen's illustration is a testament to the enduring appeal of Perrault's stories, which continue to captivate and inspire generations. The painting, with its intricate details and rich colors, is a must-have for any fairy tale enthusiast or art collector, offering a glimpse into the magical world of Perrault's classic tales.
