More about this artwork

Dive into the captivating world of Arthur Rackham's 1902 masterpiece "The Wolf Disguised as Grandmother." This enchanting painting draws inspiration from the classic folk tale "Little Red Riding Hood," evoking a blend of wonder and apprehension. Rackham, renowned for his ability to fuse beauty with a hint of the macabre, masterfully illustrates this moment of revelation and deceit.In the painting, Little Red Riding Hood stands at the bedside of who she believes to be her grandmother, only to confront the menacing figure of the wolf, adorned in her grandmother's clothes. The wolf's glaring eyes and sharp teeth contrast sharply with the innocence and looming dread surrounding the little girl in red. The intricate details of the bedroom, from the floral curtains to the textured fabrics of the bedding and garments, add a lush depth to the scene, enhancing the sinister ambiance.Rackham's use of rich, dark tones and delicate line work creates a palpable tension that captures the viewer's imagination, making "The Wolf Disguised as Grandmother" not only a visual feast but a narrative one as well.

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.
