Artuš Scheiner created this illustration for "Under Command Of Magic" with an etching technique. Scheiner lived and worked in Bohemia during a time of artistic and cultural revival, deeply rooted in folklore and mythology. Consider the figure at the center, a youthful being surrounded by birds. This image evokes the Romantic concept of the individual's deep connection with nature. It also brings up questions about identity and belonging. The relaxed pose and tranquil gaze suggest a sense of harmony and acceptance. Are we looking at the traditional representation of a fairy tale character, or is Scheiner developing an alternative narrative? The black and white medium enhances the dreamlike quality. It reminds us of the power of stories to shape our understanding of the world. The illustration invites us to reflect on the magic within ourselves and the world around us.
