Yoshitaka Amanoβs lush, ethereal paintings of magical creatures, spirits, goblins, and apparitions have been praised and admired all over the world. In Fairies he portrays characters from such beloved tales as Shakespeareβs A Midsummer Nightβs Dream; the wizard Merlin and his muse, the intoxicating Nimue; and mermaids of the deep, as well as fairies from Celtic and Japanese mythology. Drawing from influences as diverse as Art Nouveau, Art Deco, American comics, 17th-century Japanese ukiyo-e, and traditional fantasy illustration, Amano's gorgeous prints capture a breathtaking world.
