De edelvrouwen van Croy 1894 - 1959

Here's a printed image called *De edelvrouwen van Croy,* and I am gonna guess it was made with some kind of colour lithography technique, so maybe some kind of stones were involved. The artist is Gordinne, and gosh, the whole thing is like a storyboard, and the colours are muted and sweet, almost pastel-like. Each scene is like a little window into another world, like those medieval tapestries but on paper! I wonder what Gordinne was thinking when she made this. The picture has a naive quality, and the scenes are kinda like episodes in a play, frozen in time. It's kind of similar to those comics folks made in the early 20th century, like Otto Nückel. And in the end, what do we see? Just different folks trying to tell stories! The artist shares with us an old yarn that gets told and retold and morphed as it travels through time.
