More about this artwork

"The White Snake" (1920) by Arthur Rackham is a captivating piece filled with intricate details that draw viewers into a mystical realm. In this artwork, we are presented with a scene straight from a fairy tale, where a youth, clad in medieval attire, is shown delicately interacting with a sinuous white snake in a lush, forbidding forest. The setting is dimly lit, enveloped by dense reeds and shadowy trees, which adds a sense of secrecy and enchantment to the moment.Rackham's use of muted tones and masterful shading enhances the eerie yet intriguing atmosphere, making the serpent's pale form stand out against the dark, natural background. The subject's expression of focused curiosity and the gentle manner in which he handles the snake suggest a narrative of discovery and gentle wonder.This painting is a beautiful example of Rackham's renowned ability to blend the fantastical with the realistic, inviting the viewer to step into a world where the lines between the magical and the mundane are blurred.

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.
