Hello! I was going to do a post on the Golden Age of Illustration but after a bit of research i realised that not all of the artists i was going to feature were involved in this movement. Apparently Maxfield Parrish was one of the artists to counterpoint the style which according to Wikipedia 'often carried an ethos of neo-medievalism and took mythological and fairy-tale subjects', and had characteristics such as 'opulance and harmony'. Edmund Dulac was a french artist who's work is associated with this period, and i absolutely adore all his stuff. It carries alot of exotic eastern influences which i love. Before i knew his work, i loved Arthur Rackham but i'm definately not as keen on his work as i used to be. So after an amount of deliberation, this post is going to be primarily going to be made up of Edmund Dulac's work which i cannot get enough of. Enjoy!
