EDITORS COMMENTS
This image captures the essence of Franz Schubert's haunting composition, "Der Erlkönig," inspired by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's chilling poem of the same name. The illustration by J. von Klever transports us to a mystical forest where a rider and his child are pursued by the eerie figure of the Erlking, a malevolent spirit who seeks to claim their souls.
The dark and foreboding atmosphere of the forest is palpable as moonlight filters through the dense canopy, casting an otherworldly glow on the scene. The horse gallops frantically, its eyes wide with fear, while the child clings desperately to their father in terror.
The monstrous form of the Erlking looms menacingly in the background, his presence sending shivers down your spine. This fantastical creature embodies all that is sinister and diabolical, a symbol of danger lurking in the shadows.
As we gaze upon this postcard from 1901, we are transported back in time to an era when music was not just heard but felt deep within one's soul. The power and emotion conveyed through Schubert's composition come alive in this evocative image, reminding us of the enduring impact that art can have on our hearts and minds.
