The exhibition 'The Fantasy of the Middle Ages,' opening June 21, traces the connection between centuries-old, hand-written books and the knights, wizards and mystical creatures in film and TV today.
“The Fantasy of the Middle Ages,” which runs through Sept. 11, tracks the evolution of the fantasy genre in modern entertainment and how medieval traditionshave birthed an entire artistic universe. Hand-written manuscripts illuminated with precious metals and populated with fairies, wizards and goblins are on display alongside the art of creators including the Brothers Grimm, J.R.R. Tolkien, illustrators Arthur Rackham and Howard Pyle as well as Disney Studio artists.
Grollemond encourages Getty visitors to look out for a background study by Disney illustrator Eyvind Earle that served as concept art for the studio’s 1959 animated film, noting that it demonstrates “a direct throughline to the Middle Ages through that really brightly colored palette, the saturated colors and the immediacy of it.
