More about this artwork

Titled "They overran the house without loss of time" and crafted by the illustrious artist Edmund Dulac in 1910, this enchanting painting is a splendid example of Dulac's mastery in blending elements of fantasy with an ethereal palette. The artwork captures a seemingly serene yet subtly lively scene set in an opulent chamber, showcasing a group of elegantly dressed women and children in a moment of domestic tranquility and playful abandon.At the forefront, a child, adorned with an exotic headdress, looks out engagingly towards the viewer, while others around her engage in gentle rest and quiet conversation. The rich fabrics, flowing garments, and the soft, muted tones of the environment contribute to a dreamlike quality that is typical of Dulac’s work.Adding a dynamic touch to the tranquil scene, a bird darts in through an open window, suggesting a connection with the natural world and perhaps symbolizing freedom or the unexpected.

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.
