More about this artwork

This enchanting illustration by Edmund Dulac, titled "Soon They Caught Sight of the Castle in the Distance," invites us into a mystical winter scene, evoking a sense of wonder and anticipation. Created in 1910, the artwork features two figures on horseback pausing amidst a snowy landscape. The primary figure, elegantly adorned in vibrant and intricate attire, gazes towards a distant castle, which emerges hauntingly from the twilight. Beside them, a guide or companion gestures towards the distant structure, highlighting its presence amidst the serene, snow-covered setting.The scene is framed by delicate, frost-bitten trees and underbrush, suggesting the chill of winter, yet also enhancing the magical feel of the journey. The use of muted blues, greens, and whites contributes to the cool, tranquil atmosphere, while the distant castle glows warmly, beckoning the travelers onward.Dulac's artistry in employing a soft yet detailed style complements the fairy-tale theme of the painting, making it a captivating visual story of adventure and intrigue.

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.
