MACKENZIE, Thomas The Magician Struck but His Blows Fell Wide. Original watercolour from Aladdin and his Wonderful Lamp

1920.

Original ink, watercolour and gouache on artist's board. 235x320mm. Mounted, framed and glazed. In bright condition.

A suitably dramatic image from Yorkshire artist, Thomas Mackenzie's best known work, Aladdin in Rhyme, depicting the final battle between Aladdin and the Sorcerer as Aladdin seeks to rescue the Princess Bedrelbood.
Born and raised in Bradford, Thomas Mackenzie's work owes much the influences of Kay Nielsen and Aubrey Beardsley and elements of both those artists' work can be seen in this piece. In particular he shared their ability to imbue a scene with a wondrous quality, so appropriate for fantastic tales of the Golden Age gift book.

LITERATURE: Aladdin and his Wonderful Lamp in Rhyme by Arthur Ransome (Nisbet, 1920), plate XI.
