EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating illustration titled "He might think, as he stared on a staring horse" transports viewers into the enchanting world of Irish Fairy Tales. Created by renowned artist Arthur Rackham in 1920, this color lithograph print captures a poignant moment from James Stephens' book. In the image, we find ourselves amidst the woods of Slieve Bloom, where Fionn has spent his childhood. Fionn's gaze is fixed upon a magnificent horse standing before him. As he observes the majestic creature with its tail swatting away pesky flies, Fionn experiences a pang of longing for something he does not possess – a tail. Rackham's intricate details and vibrant colors bring this scene to life, evoking emotions that resonate beyond words. The juxtaposition between nature's beauty and Fionn's yearning creates an atmosphere of both melancholy and wonder. This illustration reminds us of our own desires for what we lack or cannot attain. It speaks to our innate human nature to long for what others possess effortlessly. Through this visual narrative, Rackham invites us to reflect on our own aspirations and appreciate the unique qualities that make each individual special. As we delve into this mesmerizing artwork from Fine Art Finder's collection, let us embrace our differences and celebrate the extraordinary aspects that set us apart in this vast tapestry called life.
