More about this artwork

"Bertalda" (1912) by Arthur Rackham is a captivating work that exquisitely captures both the beauty of the natural world and human emotion. The painting, done in Rackham's characteristic style which merges realism with a touch of mystique, portrays a woman standing on a balcony overlooking a quaint medieval village.The central figure, Bertalda, is depicted with an introspective gaze, her elegance emphasized by her detailed period costume. Her dress, resplendent with fine textures and subtle colors, contrasts beautifully with the simple, rustic backdrop. Her dark, flowing hair adorned with a bright red flower adds a vivid touch to the otherwise muted palette.In the distance, the gentle curves of the mountains establish a serene horizon, beneath which lies the village with its traditional houses and a prominent castle. Rackham's attention to detail is evident in every roof tile and distant mountain crease, creating a sense of depth and realism.This painting not only showcases Rackham's skill as an illustrator but also evokes a narrative that invites viewers to ponder Bertalda’s thoughts and feelings as she looks out over this timeless landscape.

Arthur Rackham (19 September 1867 – 6 September 1939) was an English book illustrator. He is recognised as one of the leading figures during the Golden Age of British book illustration. His work is noted for its robust pen and ink drawings, which were combined with the use of watercolour, a technique he developed due to his background as a journalistic illustrator.
