Painting Description
"Goblin Market: White and golden Lizzie stood" is an illustration by Arthur Rackham, a renowned English book illustrator, for the poem "Goblin Market" by Christina Rossetti. The poem, written in 1862, is a narrative fairy tale that explores themes of temptation, sacrifice, and salvation through the story of two sisters, Laura and Lizzie, who encounter goblin merchants selling a variety of luscious fruits. Rackham's illustration captures a pivotal moment in the poem, where the pure and steadfast sister, Lizzie, confronts the goblins in an effort to save Laura, who has succumbed to the temptation of the goblin fruit.
Arthur Rackham (1867–1939) was famous for his richly detailed and often fantastical illustrations, which brought to life the stories and characters of fairy tales, myths, and legends. His work on "Goblin Market" was part of a larger collection of illustrations that accompanied a 1933 edition of the poem. Rackham's interpretation of Lizzie as "white and golden" stands as a visual metaphor for her innocence and virtue, contrasting with the dark and mischievous nature of the goblins.
Rackham's illustrations for "Goblin Market" are celebrated for their intricate detail, imaginative composition, and the way they enhance the poem's exploration of Victorian themes of sexuality, morality, and sisterhood. His artwork for this poem, including the depiction of Lizzie, has been widely appreciated for its ability to capture the eerie and ethereal atmosphere of Rossetti's narrative, making it a significant contribution to the visual interpretation of literary works during the Golden Age of Illustration.
