Unlike science  fiction, which is based on fact, fantasy presents an impossible reality &#8211;  a universe where dragons breathe fire, angels battle demons, and  magicians weave spells. Published to coincide with a major exhibition  organised by the Norman Rockwell Museum, this handsome volume reveals  how artists have brought to life mythology, fables, and fairy tales, as  well as modern epics like <em>The Lord of the Rings<\/em> and <em>Game of Thrones<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>The main text of <em><strong>Enchanted<\/strong><\/em>,  by exhibition curator Jesse Kowalski, traces the emergence of the  themes of fantasy in the world&#8217;s civilisations, and the development of  fantasy illustration from the Old Masters to the Victorian fairy  painters, to Golden Age illustrators like Howard Pyle and Arthur  Rackham, to classic cover artists like Frank Frazetta and Boris Vallejo,  to emerging talents like Anna Dittmann and Victo Ngai. Additional  essays by distinguished contributors address particular aspects of  fantasy illustration, such as the relationship between science and  fantasy in the19th century, and the illustrators of Robert E. Howard.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Enchanted<\/strong><\/em><br \/>\n features more than 180 colour illustrations, including numerous  stunning full-page reproductions. This handsome volume is a must-have  reference for artists and illustrators, and a delight for all lovers of  fantasy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The first-ever history of fantasy illustration.
