The Art of Arthur Rackham

Arthur Rackham (1867-1939) is one of the great artists associated with the Golden Age of Illustration.

The Arthur Rackham Collection at Spirit of the Ages includes art images from some of Rackham's seminal work. As a valuable reference resource, options are also provided for purchasing a range of gifts, including reproduction prints, posters and greeting cards.

His illustrations are characterised by a sinuous pen line softened with muted watercolour - a feature that is typical of the Art Nouveau aesthete. Rackham's forests are looming with frightening grasping roots, his fair maidens are sensuous - yet somehow chaste - and his ogres and trolls ugly enough to repulse, but with sufficient good nature not to frighten.

We invite you to take the time to peruse the wonderful artwork from Arthur Rackham that is included in the Collection - to view images from any one of Rackham's suites or paintings listed below, simply 'click' on the hyperlinks embedded within the titles and the images.
