From one of my favorite fairy tales, Bluebeard. This illustration is by Kanako Tanabe and shows the moment when Bluebeard's (last) wife is pleading with him not to kill her.



You can read an annotated Charles Perrault telling of the Bluebeard story at SurLaLune.

I love that you post these images, and that's a great website you linked. Illustration is a much underrated art form (in my opinion). Arthur Rackham is my overall favourite fairy tale illustrator.

Bluebeard is such a cool story, very dark. That picture is beautiful!
