More about this artwork

This captivating artwork by Edmund Dulac, titled "The Wind’s Tale Pl 2," invites viewers into a mystical, windswept landscape. In this painting, we observe a solitary female figure bending gracefully as she traverses a rocky, stream-laden terrain. The woman, cloaked in a flowing burgundy gown, battles against the gusty winds that animate her voluminous hair and the trees around her.To her left, the scene is dominated by slender, wind-buffeted trees, their leaves rustled into a flurry of movement that mirrors the swirling skies above. In the background, the silhouette of a gothic castle emerges, its spires rising elegantly against the dim, enigmatic horizon. This combination of architecture and nature adds a layer of romanticism and fairy-tale allure, typical of Dulac's renowned style.The color palette is subdued yet evocative, with earthy tones and soft greys blending seamlessly to create a sense of depth and emotion. Dulac masterfully captures the mood of a windy day, with every element of the composition contributing to the overall narrative of struggle and beauty in the face of natural forces.

Edmund Dulac (born Edmond Dulac; 22 October 1882 – 25 May 1953) was a French-British naturalised magazine illustrator, book illustrator and stamp designer. Born in Toulouse he studied law but later turned to the study of art at the École des Beaux-Arts. He moved to London early in the 20th century and in 1905 received his first commission to illustrate the novels of the Brontë Sisters. During World War I, Dulac produced relief books and when after the war the deluxe children's book market shrank he turned to magazine illustrations among other ventures. He designed banknotes during World War II and postage stamps, most notably those that heralded the beginning of Queen Elizabeth II's reign.
