Fairies in a Nest
John Fitzgerald
Oil on Canvas
1857 |
“Fitzgerald
created perhaps the most interesting variations on fairy themes
with his small, brilliantly colored oil paintings. For example,
his series of works on the conflict between the fairy populace
and Cock Robin mingles humanoid fairies and imaginative Boschian
grotesques with carefully rendered birds, flowers, and insects.
Fitzgerald's fairies, dressed in elaborate finery, possess a
child-like bemusement as they move with tremulous bravado through
a lush, exotic floral world.”
