More about this artwork

"Puss in Boots" (1911) by Arthur Rackham offers a glimpse into the whimsical and shadowy realm characteristic of Rackham's illustrative mastery. In this enchanting scene inspired by the classic fairy tale, the focus shifts intriguingly away from the titular feline hero to highlight a lesser-seen moment of the narrative. The illustration captures a scene inside a dimly lit dungeon, where an ogre, having transformed into a massive mouse, looms ominously over the scene, introducing a palpable sense of peril.The foreground features a scared, elderly man crouched cautiously by a well, his gaze fixed on the alarming creature before him, which adds a layer of narrative tension. The detailed texturing and interplay of light and shadow are quintessential Rackham, evoking a mood that is both eerie and captivating. The background extends into a misty castle, hinting at the wider world of the story and situating the scene within a broader, magical landscape.

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.
