Description
Eyvind Earle - Sleeping Beauty Maleficent at Forbidden Fortress 10" x 5" Signed Concept/Color Key Painting (Walt Disney, 1959). "Borne through the skies on a fog of doom! Now go with a curse and serve me well. Around Stefan's castle, cast my spell!" Atop the Forbidden Fortress, the nefarious Mistress of All Evil, Maleficent, cast a powerful spell to carry in this captivating original concept/color key painting, created and signed by the Disney Legend Eyvind Earle (1916 - 2000) for Walt Disney's animated masterpiece Sleeping Beauty. Greatly resembling the image appearing at approximately the 1:07:46 mark of the Disney classic, as Maleficent tries to stop Prince Phillip and the Good Fairies from reaching the dormant Princess Aurora, this ominous image places us beneath the mountainous wall of the Forbidden Fortress. On top of the tower appears the iconic Disney Villain, surrounded by blazing magic that immediately catches the eye, backed by the ominous sky populated by dark clouds. Eyvind Earle created this poignant image in gouache on a 10" x 5" board, demonstrating his efficient approach in creating powerful ambiances with confident brushstrokes and a limited color palette, adorned by his signature in the bottom right corner. The board presents pinholes on its corners. In Very Good condition with light handling and edge wear from production.Auction Info
