''Out of the Sea''
Illustration by Willy Pogány
This wonderful illustration, entitled "Out of the Blue" is believed to have been prepared by Willy Pogány to illustrate a
scene from "The Story of the Fisherman and the Genie" - a portion of The Arabian Nights.
The illustration is believed to show the moment when the Genie is first exposed after being hauled from the Sea by the
Fisherman described by the following text from Laurence Housman:
At so fearful a sight all the fisherman's courage oozed out of him; but the Genie,
perceiving him, cried with a our voice, "O Solomon, Prophet of God, slay me
not, for never again will I withstand thee in word or deed."
"Alas!" said the fisherman, "I am no prophet; and as for Solomon, he has been
dead for nearly two thousand years. I am but a poor fisherman whom chance
has knocked by accident against thy door."
Pogány's illustration captures the emotions of the protagonists in a masterful manner.
