For the Mothers...

incandescens pointed me at this scan of a gorgeous, heartrending rendition of Hans Christian Anderson's A Story of a Mother. The art is just... amazing and makes the impact of the story all the harder. Wow....

Thank you, incandescens.

That is beautiful, and I must find a way to give money to the artist. Thank you!

I have no idea what language the original was even written in... so... yeah. I think the info is probably available from the scanner.

Looks Danish or Norwegian, maybe? I found the artist's website just now: http://www.petermadsen.info/pages/hom/som.html

It says he worked on that story for twenty years o.O There's a link to a bookbuying site, but I couldn't get it to work. Hm, but I know someone who lives in Norway...*plots*

This is beautiful... I love Andersen, even though the end is often sad. But these pictures... This is truly beautiful.

I'm very glad you enjoyed it! Yeah, they always seem to end up so sad... but so beautifully so I still read them.
