More about this artwork

"The White Snake" is an enchanting illustration by Arthur Rackham, created in 1920. This piece radiates the distinctive style that Rackham is renowned for, blending a sense of the mystical with detailed, lifelike depictions. In this painting, he transports the viewer to a shadowy, densely wooded marshland. A central figure, clad in medieval attire and a jeweled cap, is delicately handling a large, luminous white snake. The subtlety in the tones and textures, from the gleaming scales of the snake to the intricate patterns and folds of the figure’s clothing, are testament to Rackham’s skill. The surrounding environment, rich with slender tree trunks and thickets of grass, enhances the sense of a secretive, closely-observed moment. This artwork not only illustrates a scene from a tale but also invites the audience to ponder the deeper narratives interwoven with nature and human interaction.

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.
