Flying on the back of a giant

Flying on the back of a giant -
This is a picture of a child riding through the sky on a giant troll by Swedish artist Gustaf Tenggren.


detail shows exaggeration loving nose, drooping lip, and spins on the ear. I like the worried expression of the rider.

Speaking of young person riding a giant humanoid magic in the sky, I remember one of my favorite pictures, painted in watercolor by José Segrelles (1885- 1969). It shows a young man flying on the back of a genius. You can not see any of their faces, only the hands and feet of giant matched, swimming through the golden vapors, her hair and the hem of his garment blown forward by a tail wind of 'fragrant spices.

there is not enough Segrelles published on the web, so please share it with people who think you can love. There is a good book on Segrelles as I know, Jose Segrelles Albert :. Su vida y su obra (Spanish Edition) , quite expensive but worth it, especially if you can read Spanish
