"The Princess and the Trolls" is a renowned artwork by Swedish painter and illustrator John Bauer, created in 1913. Bauer, best known for his illustrations of Swedish folklore and fairy tales, often depicted mystical forests and mythical creatures with a distinctive Art Nouveau style. This particular work is part of a series that Bauer contributed to the yearly anthology "Bland Tomtar och Troll" (Among Gnomes and Trolls), which featured a collection of children's fairy tales accompanied by illustrations from various artists.

The painting portrays a scene from a fairy tale where a princess is seen interacting with trolls, creatures common in Scandinavian folklore. Bauer's depiction is characterized by a moody, enchanted landscape that is typical of his work. The trolls are rendered with a sense of both whimsy and menace, embodying the magical and sometimes dark nature of the tales they inhabit. The princess is often interpreted as a figure of innocence and beauty, contrasting with the grotesque appearance of the trolls.

Bauer's use of muted colors and his ability to capture light and shadow contribute to the ethereal quality of the painting. His work has been influential in the development of fantasy art and has left a lasting legacy in the genre. "The Princess and the Trolls" remains one of Bauer's most celebrated pieces, exemplifying his skill in bringing the fantastical elements of Nordic folklore to life. The artwork continues to captivate audiences with its timeless appeal and is considered a classic example of early 20th-century storybook illustration.
