The artwork titled “The Eastwind flew faster still (from The Garden of Paradise)” is created by Edmund Dulac, a notable artist of the Art Nouveau (Modern) movement. It falls under the genre of illustration and is part of the series “The Garden of Paradise”.
The artwork presents a fantastical scene depicting two figures soaring through the sky on the wings of a mystical bird. The vibrant feathers of the bird are rendered in rich hues, reflecting the dynamic and ethereal qualities typical of Edmund Dulac’s illustrations. Below the flying figures, a serene landscape with domed buildings and meandering paths unfolds, illuminated by a gentle twilight. The composition and intricate details serve to immerse the viewer in a whimsical and otherworldly narrative, characteristic of the Art Nouveau movement’s emphasis on decorative art and natural forms.
