EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Fernand Khnopff's masterpiece, "Who Shall Deliver Me?". The artwork, created with coloured pencil on paper, is a mesmerizing blend of symbolism and supernatural elements. Khnopff, a Belgian symbolist artist from the late 19th and early 20th centuries, explores themes of imprisonment and longing in this piece. The central figure in the drawing is a woman with fiery red hair. Her piercing gaze holds an air of melancholy as she stands before a mysterious grating. This brooch-like structure acts as both a physical barrier and a metaphorical representation of her entrapment. Khnopff draws inspiration from Christina Georgina Rossetti's poem titled "Who Shall Deliver Me?" published in her collection "Poems" in 1876. The drain depicted at the bottom adds to the eerie atmosphere surrounding the woman, suggesting that she may be drained or trapped by unseen forces. Through his meticulous use of colour and intricate details, Khnopff invites viewers into an enigmatic world where emotions are palpable. This thought-provoking artwork prompts contemplation about personal struggles and yearning for liberation. Peter Willi's expert photography captures every nuance of Khnopff's original work flawlessly. With this stunning print now available for art enthusiasts to admire, one can delve into the depths of symbolism while appreciating the skillful craftsmanship behind this remarkable piece.
